Did you miss storytime? Perhaps it is just one of those days when you need a little boost with your little ones. Fret not. We have gathered some storytime resources for you at home. Follow our steps below or mix-and-match for the ultimate storytime experience.
Today’s Theme: Community Helpers
1. Energize with a Song
Start your storytime by listening to Ms. Lisa sing "The More We Get Together.
2. Read a Book About Community Helpers
Choose a book or two about community helpers and read aloud together. Here is a list to get you started right here at CPL:
3. Activity: Find Community Helpers
Years ago, when Mr. Rogers was a boy and saw scary things in the news, his mother would tell him, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” The most obvious helpers are firemen, policemen, doctors, nurses and teachers, but there are many more.
It can be a fun exercise to come up with a list of all the helpers you can find in these books and in your own community. You can even challenge your child to find different ways to be a helper—turning out the lights, cleaning up, setting the table and working together.
4. Sing a Goodbye Song
See you next time! Wrap up your storytime and sing along with our librarians to "Skinnamarink."
