Storytime Theme: Big Machines

Things that go is a perennial favorite when it comes to storytime themes. So, make sure you’ve done a car theme, a train theme, a truck theme, a construction theme, and why not try a big machines theme that is very similar to a construction theme but could also include different “big” machines if you wanted to go the bus route or even helicopters, boats, airplanes, tractors, and more.

For this theme, I wanted to highlight construction vehicles and I think kids will love it! Plus, with some favorite characters like the Berenstain Bears and Pete the Cat, there is sure to be a book kids love in this list. As usual, I also wanted to include a more “nonfiction” selection with real photographs which helps kids equate what they see in books to what they see in the real world!
