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 […]

Reading Together
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin, illustrations by James Dean I’m going to have to buy a copy of this book for LBD for xmas. Not only is it fun to read, and the illustrations hysterical, but she already knows the colors red, blue, and brown from reading it. Perfect […]

Art Appreciation
Next child art prodigy? LBD has recently taken an interest in the art of coloring. She’ll sit down for up to 10 minutes (which is hours in toddler world) scribbling away before trying to color her face. After watching this evolution I got to thinking…. Am I a creativity encourager or an inhibitor (e.g. “Don’t […]

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 […]
