Storytime Theme: Stop & Go
Transportation-themed storytimes are always a big hit! I wanted to go a little beyond the typical transportation books this time around but had a much harder time than I expected finding the right types of books to fit this theme. This theme is kind of a two-in-one situation with books about opposites as well as a lot of books about bus stops.
With some really fun songs (who doesn’t love a freeze dance?) and some really cute stop light crafts, this theme can easily be scaled for a younger or even older audience. Whether your little one loves things that go or you’re looking for something new to read, I’m sure you’ll find something you love in this list!
