Storytime Theme: Lion & Mouse
Continuing on my opposites storytime theme from last week, this week we’re focusing on up and down! This was a fun theme to pull together and you can easily find a bunch of books that work well. Try focusing on animals that fly versus animals you might find underground or underwater. You can also focus on airplanes versus subway systems or even things that float and sink. Whatever direction you take, this is sure to be a theme that kids will love!
