Storytime Theme: Tacos
Probably one of my family’s favorite meals – tacos! This is a storytime lesson plan love letter to them. And with a variety of food sensitivities and paticularities, tacos are the perfect food. They can be vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc. Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving my family gathers at my house for what we have dubbed Fiesta Friday and we serve an epic taco bar with tons of great food and a great change of pace from all Thanksgiving food we ate the day before.
This storytime has some really fun stories and songs in it. And I cheated just a bit and included both a book and a song that are actually the same. If you’ve never heard It’s Raining Tacos, it’s a definite must read and listen! Crafts are a little trickier when it comes to tacos as they’re all basically the same, so find one that works best for you and create your own tacos. Paper plates make a great taco shell!
And don’t miss my cooking storytime for a perfect introduction to the kitchen for little ones!
