Storytime Theme: Jungle
We are fully in the heat of summer right now! And last week, I offered an outdoor storytime with a jungle theme. Considering it was in the eighties with high humidity, it almost felt like we were in the jungle! I paired some really adorable jungle-themed books with lots of yoga poses for the kids to do. But, if yoga isn’t your thing, add some great music, rhymes, crafts, or even science to this theme for a great day of jungle study!
Check out these fun books, songs, and crafts that work for the preschool classroom, library storytime, or even at home!
