Storytime Theme: Sleep
Most likely a popular storytime more for the adults in the room than the kids, but I promise there are some absolutely adorable picture books out there about going to bed! This would make a perfect storytime for the evening or even before naptime. But, you can also use it whenever it works best for you! Share a couple of stories, sing a few songs, and make a craft and you’ve got the perfect program for toddlers or preschoolers. And I’ll give you an inside scoop, if you’ve never read Where Is the Green Sheep? It’s a must read – kids absolutely love this book!
