Winter Storytime
Snow was in the air for yesterday’s Winter Storytime. We had a great time with the stories and songs and crafting SNOWGLOBES! Chosing books to read was difficult this time through, because there’re so many great winter stories. I’m thinking later this week the honorable mention winter books will have to make an appearance. Winter […]

Owl Storytime
Hello there! How are you owl doing after the Thanksgiving weekend? If you couldn’t tell by my cheesy intro, we sang songs and read books about owls for storytime. The kids even made their very own owl to take home with them. It was a small group of storytimers which was kinda nice after the […]

Thanksgiving Storytime
Thanksgiving is only 10 days away and since I will not be reading in next Sunday’s storytime, I took the opportunity to celebrate thankfulness yesterday.

Silly Hat Storytime
Aren’t these little owls the cutest? I was going to do owls for storytime this week, but I’m still waiting on a new owl book to arrive. Instead, I decided with colder weather on the horizon, storytime would be devoted to reading books about hats. All stories read were slightly silly and there were a […]

Pumpkin Storytime
Yesterday’s pumpkin-themed storytime turned out a good crowd! My mom was in town this weekend, so she was able to attend too. The picture above is one of the many documenting a trip to Schaake’s Pumpkin Patch that also occurred over the weekend during her visit. These mini pumpkins were my craft inspiration, which ended […]

Falling Leaves Storytime
“Falling Leaves” was the theme for Sunday’s Storytime. I believe I’ve mentioned before that this is my favorite time of the year, so I will do every fall-time theme imaginable before the kids start to tire of it. “Squirrels”, “Apple Pie”, “Falling Leaves”, and this coming Sunday I’m 98% certain I’ll be reading about “Pumpkins”. […]

Apple Pie Storytime
Nothing tastes more like fall than apple pie. I’m pretty sure apple season in Kansas starts in September, but even so apples are autumn-ish and festive for an October afternoon storytime. My pie-wizard-of-a-husband even baked an apple pie for the show, because naturally I believe in tempting children with treats to attend storytime. We had […]

Storytime Sunday
I realize it’s Tuesday and not Sunday, but this week I started reading for the library’s Sunday family storytime and was a thinkin’ it might (just might) be fun to start a regular post about Sunday storytime. The books I read and the craft we made… Could be a good time, right? Back when I […]
