Storytime Theme: Preschool
I love this sweet storytime about getting ready for preschool! Most kids are a little nervous when trying something new and as parents and caregivers it’s our job to prepare them for what’s coming! These are the perfect books to use as kids transition into preschool with a bunch of characters getting ready themselves and a few stories about preschool classrooms. The songs, rhymes, and activities all focus on gross and fine motor skills that kids heading to preschool should practice, in fun ways like with songs and games. So whether you’ve got a toddler who has some time before heading to school or a little one headed to preschool soon, this lesson plan is perfect for you!
