Holiday ‘Sing-A-Long’ Storytime
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a Holiday Storytime. Of course there are hundreds of Christmas books, a handful of Hanukkah books, and the pickings get slim when it comes the Kwanzza and Eid. So, to incorporate all holidays I decided to do a holiday song sing-a-long. A few winter songs and then […]

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 […]

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”.
