Storytime Theme: Yellow

It’s time for yellow to have it’s moment in the spotlight with this fun storytime all about yellow things like bananas, bees, buses, and more! If you’re just joining me, check out red and orange that were posted earlier and come back again for trip through all the rainbow colors (plus a few more that we can’t miss out on!).

I think colors are a great storytime theme because a lot of kids know their colors and if they don’t it’s great practice. But if they do, you can talk about things that are the color you’re theme is about. “What is the color yellow?” And if you print out some pictures from the Internet for a quick little flannelboard activity you’re encouraging talking and learning background knowledge. A quick tip – print out the photo (not clip art) of something yellow and then also have the word below it so the kids can see the letters matching up with the picture! It’s a very simple activity that is great for early literacy development.
