Storytime Theme: Playground
My niece and nephew love spending time on the playground! And I’m lucky to have a couple within walking distance, so we’re always on an adventure when they come to visit. This storytime is a perfect one for kids from toddlers to early elementary school because who doesn’t love spending time on the playground with friends? This theme was a little more difficult to pull together, but I still found a couple of stories as well as some fun songs and activities that you can do with your kids. These activities for sure are probably better suited for outside as they do get a little more messy than usual!
