Monster Storytime
Since Halloween is near and there are so, so, so many wonderful monster picture books it seems to me it was high time to host a MONSTER STORYTIME! We read some new and some tried and true monster books, and then had a monster fun time crafting monster feet for our post-storytime craft. Monster Storytime […]

Fall Storytime
Fall is here! A week ago for Sunday’s library storytime we celebrated Fall’s arrival with Fall Storytime. We read books about fall and had a blast crafting little Fall Friends from toilet paper tubes and leaves. Children’s author L.M. Montgomary said it best, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” […]

Not A Box Storytime
Our library recently had their big annual books sale which meant afterward there were tons and tons of boxes that once housed books. I grabbed 40 from the pile and planned a storytime and craft inspired by Antoinette Portis‘ picture book, Not A Box, and a few others books that inspire using one’s imagination by […]

Miss Becca’s Storytime Mixer
I’ve been waiting for a few books to come in that I’ve inter-library loaned specifically for storytime, so I decided this week would be a good time to have another storytime mixer. A storytime mixer is when I read some of my favorite books and also a few brand new books that I think the […]

On The Road Storytime
Hello Sunday Storytime readers! Yesterday’s storytime theme is a tried and true favorite… Cars, Buses, Trucks, and all things that go on the road! I have to admit… I was completely uninspired for this weekend’s storytime. But when that happens, I’m so very lucky to have my “storytime gurus”, a couple co-workers who have been […]

Dragon Storytime
With our medieval armor and trusty steeds, the Sunday storytimers and I journeyed into the mountainous terrain of of books only to come face to face with fire-breathing (and taco eating) DRAGONS! That’s right! Yesterday’s storytime theme was DRAGONS! (I feel the word DRAGON should always be in caps, don’t you agree?) We read some […]

Back to School Storytime
The majority of the Lawrence area kids go back to school this Wednesday. What? School? Already?! To get into the shift of a academic state of mind, the Sunday storytimers and I read some (in my opinion) fantastic books about going to school, and also made radical pencil toppers for our craft. Why are they […]

Wild West Storytime
Howdy, partner! Had quite the fandango down at the local library yesterday… Cowboys, outlaws, ladies, and BOOKS! That’s right, books. Didn’t you know that cowboys love to read? Anyway, I’ve been awaiting to do this theme for quite sometime, especially since just south of Lawrence, Kansas is Dodge City, one of the most iconic cowboy […]

Shark Stroytime
“SHARK! Get out of the water and into the library!” With the much anticipated 25th anniversary of The Discovery Channel’s Shark Week on the horizon, and since kids love sharks, I thought it would be fun to have a storytime featuring these fun, yet fearsome creatures. For our after-stories craft we made “Deep Sea Panoramas” […]
