Family Storytime: Camping

We had an adventure theme for the week of July 2nd and after looking at everything we pulled and gravitating towards all the camping books, I decided to go with a camping theme. 

I read Maisy Goes Camping by Lucy Cousins and Explorers of the Wild by Cale Atkinson.  

Some other books that would have been great for reading with an adventure theme are:
The Adventures of Beekle by Dan Santat
Jeremy Draws a Monster by Peter McCarty
I'm Bored by Michael Ian Black
Found by Saliina Yoon
Shh! We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton 

Other books that are perfect for a camping storytime are:
Sally Goes to the Mountains by Stephen Huneck
I Love the Mountains by Steven Anderson
Do Princesses Make Happy Campers? by Carmela LaVigna Coyle
Duck Tents by Lynne Berry

We were having some trouble settling down during this one, so we did some flannel board matching with cars and their matching colored suitcase and then got to our craft of making a tent out of construction paper and Popsicle sticks. They liked decorating their camper.

If the kids weren't so antsy, we had a song and Five Little Froggies flannel to do too. It's the summer so I'm definitely competing for attention between going outside and reading, but we had a good storytime nonetheless.
