Did you miss storytime? Perhaps it is just one of those days when you need a 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: Winter
1. Jump-Start with a Rhyme
Start your storytime by holding up five fingers and chanting this snowman rhyme with Librarian Shell.
2. Read a Book About Snow or Winter
There are many picture books and stories at the library about winter, and you can find some informational nonfiction books as well. Build a cozy fort with a blanket and read your story in it.
Here is a list to get you started:
3. Sing a Song: "I'm a Little Snowflake"
Sing a quick song to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”. Draw a snowman with colored markers on a big piece of paper while you sing:
I’m a little snowman short and fat;
Here are my buttons, here is my hat.
When it starts to warm up, I can’t stay;
‘Cause I will slowly melt away.
4. Activity: Sensory Bin
Ask your kids to help you make a winter sensory bin. You can fill a box with cotton balls, blue and white pom poms, white beans or rice, marshmallows, jingle bells and glass pebbles. Put in lots of cups, spoons and scoops for plenty of mixing and pouring.
5. Sing a Goodbye Song
See you next time! Wrap up your storytime and sing along with our librarians to "Skinnamarink".
