Parachute Storytime Theme: Interactive Books

This was our last week of storytime for the fall!  And I had a pretty small group, which really worked with the books I had.  The kids loved Shark in the Park, especially when they got to yell, “SHARK!”  They, of course, loved Polar Bear’s Underwear as well.  Which is not surprising… underwear is always a sure-fire win!  And because the group was so small they were able to get nice and close to look for ladybug in Yoo-Hoo Ladybug.  I’m excited for a little bit of a break from storytime to refresh some ideas and learn some new things to add in – maybe I’ll finally have time to master at least one song on my ukulele!
