Storytime Theme: Letter O

We’re continuing to move through the alphabet and today we’re showcasing the letter O! Today’s letter was a little difficult, but I think I found enough letter O words that will work for a wide-variety of storytimes with words like outside, octopus, one, ovals, and so much more! You could even do an entire ocean storytime with words like otter and octopus. Or, why not try a concepts themed storytime with words like opposites, ovals, and the number one.

And as always, if you’re looking for additional ideas, why not try an outer space theme or an Olympics theme. Keep coming back each Monday as we continue through the alphabet (hopefully finishing up, just in time for the new year!).
