Cuddle Up with Teddy preschool storytime plan

Last month we encouraged the preschoolers to Cuddle Up with Teddy at our teddy bear themed preschool storytime. You can get my planning sheet by clicking here.

For the craft we made teddy bears out of the letter B. Here's the PDF of the craft.

We recently had a winter storm that left us with a lot of snow.  What better time to share my Winter Wonderland storytime plan?  Please note, to view the file, you will need a version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (get it free here).

 

All ready for the fun to begin!

Party Palooza Preschool Storytime Plan

Today's my baby sister's birthday.  In honor of her birthday, I decided to share the storytime plan from my birthday week.  Yes...we had a birthday themed storytime in honor of MY birthday.  Because it is all about me and my day. ;)

 You can download a PDF of the Party Pallooza storytime plan by clicking here.

For the craft we made pigs in party hats (click for PDF of the craft).  The kids enjoyed the storytime, craft...and the treat I shared (since it was my birthday, I wanted to give them a little something extra).  There were smiles all around.

Call the Doctor (Who)

In June I held the first of two Doctor Who themed programs of the summer.  These programs, open to Whovians of all ages - children through adults, are always fun!  Since I knew some of the people coming had been at my previous Doctor Who events, I decided to add some new activities and crafts.

These photos are all taken from my Instagram account.  

Summer Reading programming fun!

Warning!  This is a photo heavy post!

We've had a lot of fun programs this summer!  Here are some of the pics I shared via my Instagram account.  Many of these programs were with Miss Brindi.  There are more - like my photos from the Doctor Who program, but that will be in later post.

Here's what I was up to the past month: Summer Reading prep.  SRP started on June 1, so it has been a very busy week.

Summer Reading started this week!

We put together 300 beaded superhero bracelet kits!

We are asking the kids to tell us who is their favorite superhero.

 I cut so many cityscapes with my Cricut that I ended up dreaming about cutting items for work! 

Adding a Summer Learning component to Summer Reading.

All ready for children's and teen registrations!

This year's theme is great for my collection of superhero t-shirts!

Got Prizes?  We do!
