Storytime Theme: Purple
While we’ve moved into April, it doesn’t mean we’re done with our color-themed storytimes just yet! Today we’re talking all things purple! And if you’re just joining me, check out red, orange, yellow, green, and blue 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!).
Surprising, purple has been the hardest color to pull together so far! And I was definitely not expecting that! Maybe that’s because there aren’t as many inherently purple things found in nature, but I found a couple of classics (that you really can’t live without) and a few newer titles that I think would work perfectly for a purple storytime!
