Nocturnal Storytime

For storytime last Sunday we talked about animals that wake up when the sun goes down for Nocturnal Storytime. We also made this fun Night Creatures Collage […]

Election Storytime
It’s election day in the good ol’ U.S. of A! Hope everyone has gone out and voted or plan to do so this evening. Election was the theme for last Sunday’s Storytime, which was my own way of raising awareness of this very important day in our country. The kids voted on which picture books […]

Halloween Storytime
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to READ. Happy Halloween! Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. It doesn’t hurt that the holiday inspires some pretty fantastic picture books. Every single book I read for this storytime was a hit with the kids. Afterwards, we made some wicked sweet “Not-So-Spooky […]

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 […]
