storytime specials

I am reading In the Night Kitchen during a Sendak/Where the Wild Things Are storytime

One of my favorite programs to present are the Storytime Specials. Currently these specials are for children 3 years-1st grade, and the primary attendance is the 3-5 year old range. The program runs 45 minutes, and includes a storytime (replete with songs and fingerplays), a craft or a game, and a treat. Sometimes the themes are broad, such as Apples or Animals, and other times I choose a story or author, such as  Where the Wild Things Are or Eric Carle. Over the next few weeks I’m going to post about some of these programs. It should be fun. If nothing else, it gives me a goal  for the next month or so, which is something I could sorely use to get through the tail end of winter.
