This was a great turnout
for storytime and the group had great energy. They did very well with movement
activities and with their rainbow craft. They liked pointing out the
illustrations with both books and enjoyed playing with the scarves and singing "If You're Happy and You Know It". They also enjoyed guessing the shapes of the
clouds in "It Looks Like Spilt Milk" flannel but couldn't wait to get
to the craft.
I had my regulars there and also some new families that I've
noticed visit the library, but haven't attended storytimes so it was good to
see them participate. This was a good start to storytime.
Our books were Ned's Rainbow by Melanie Walsh and Maisy's Rainbow Dream by Lucy Cousins. I liked how Walsh's book was all about rainbows and how Lucy Cousins incorporated colors into her story. Maisy's Rainbow Dream was also a great pick because the book was larger and perfect for a storytime setting.
