Pop-Up Book Storytime

This was a unique pop-up storytime that was held on a Saturday afternoon. Despite the bad weather, I still had a nice turnout. The group was very well-behaved and listened quite well.

We read a variety of pop-up and lift-the-flap books that mostly had to do with animals and then we made a pop-up inspired craft.

The books I read were I Saw Anaconda, Where is Mama?, Believe, Hoot-Hoot Pop-Up Fun, Who's Hungry?, and Grow, Baby, Grow!

The kids were really excited to make their own pop-up after seeing all the cool books. They each made a pop-up frog with a move-able tongue to catch the flies of course! We all folded and cut our frog together, which worked as a great instruction, and everyone had their move-able frog mouths and decorated their page with lily pads and grass.

I would definitely do this type of program again!
