Storytime at the Liberry: Forest Pals

It's still technically fall for two more days. I've seen a lot of ideas for hibernation story times,which is find for preschoolers but I think that concept goes right over a toddler's head.

Here is a animal themed storytime involving all sorts of animals you would find in a forest or your backyard. Feel free to swap out book to suite them to any time of the year





Welcome Song: The Wheels on the Bus

Welcome: Our ready to read skill is talking. Talk about what kind of animals you see outside. Not ones in a zoo but your own back yard. Which one is your favorite?

Book: Over in the Meadow - You can use what ever version you prefer or works with your crowd. I used Over in the Forest: Come and take a Peek by Marianne Berkes

Song: The Bear Went over the Mountain

Book: That Pup! by Lindsey Barrett George

Song: Grey Squirrel

Book: Who's in the Forest? by Phyllis Gershator- Just because some of them are out of diapers, doesn't mean they (and you the storyteller) can't enjoy a good board book!

Dancing Song: Shake Your Sillies Out

Book: The Busy Little Squirrel by Nancy Tafuri
