Storytime Theme: Letter L
One of my most favorite letters of the alphabet… Letter L! Seeing as it’s the first letter of my name and the name of my blog, it’s no wonder it’s one of my favorite letters. And there are a TON of different words that you can use to create a…

Storytime Theme: Polar Bears
Today’s storytime theme is a perfect theme for the upcoming winter as nights get longer and the days get colder. While this can be a simple bear-themed storytime, you can also use this as a topic for a STEM program that discusses the effects of climate change on the polar…

Top Ten Tuesday: Great Books for Third Graders
I very rarely completely ignore a Top Ten Tuesday prompt, but I just couldn’t get enough brain power around this week’s theme – Characters that Authors Surprisingly Redeemed. So instead, I went in a completely different direction. I think the most difficult age group to find books for is that…

Storytime Theme: Letter K
It’s Letter K’s day to shine! And this one was a lot of fun with knights and knees that make the letter k a little trickier and a whole lot of time spent down under with koalas, kangaroos, and kiwis. In fact, if you want to do a whole storytime…

And there are a number of different directions you can go in – different types of paint, paintbrushes, and…

Top Ten Tuesday: Romance Books Involving Food
Feeding people is my love language. I love to cook, I’ll bake, but I truly love to cook and love to spend time in my kitchen. I’m the type of person that (tries) to meal plan every week with well-loved recipes and new options that make both my partner and…

Storytime Theme: Letter I
This is the first letter that I’ve come across in the alphabet that actually took a little bit of time to find enough different types of books that use words that start with the letter I. I’d also say that I had to stretch a little with books like Bear…
