Storytime Theme: Brown, Black, Gray, and White
While these colors – brown, black, gray, and white are not the most popular colors for toddlers and preschoolers, there are a surprising number of books that are available for these colors. And while, you could easily do a storytime about each one individually, I chose to combine them all into one. Whether you choose to go the animal/color theme or choose to find other ways to share these colors, you can easily have ten weeks of storytimes themes betweeen all of these colors!
Make sure to check out all the other great color storytime lesson plans I’ve posted recently – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. I’ve got just one more color-themed storytime to go and you don’t want to miss it!
