This list contains storytime blogs, wikis, websites, and related resources, plus preschool planning sites for songs, crafts, and activities.

All Things STEAM. Welcome to All Things STEAM, a resource for offering library programming in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
When it comes to developing my STEAM programming, I have turned to a number of go-to resources that for inspiration and concept knowledge support. I've gathered links to those resources, my program how-tos, and other STEAM and maker resources for your convenience. I'm not updating this page very frequently anymore, but I still use it as a repository for my STEAM programs past and present as well as my favorite resources.

The Three Little Pigs & the Preschool Science. Photo by Amy Koester.
My name is Miss Amy, and I will be your STEM librarian today for a Three Little Pigs edition of Preschool Science! I am a firm believer that STEM programming knows no age limits, and this philosophy led me to develop a preschool science series of programs at my library. Each Preschool Science Story Time involves a few main components: an age-appropriate story; a group retelling of the story with discussion of the science in the story; and hands-on activity. The most recent Preschool Science Story Time featured the well-known tale of the Three Little Pigs.
The program is easily replicable; I hope you’ll try it at your library! First, we read our story. Next, we retell the story together. We always have plenty of time to be hands-on with the science. Everyone leaves with a book and/or sheet of at-home activities to reinforce our topic. Flannel Friday: Color Blending Magic. This is a decidedly flannelless storytime activity I like to use when the theme is color.
It pair perfectly with one of my all-time favorite stories, with Mouse Paint. It’s one of the simplest ways to provide a hands-on experience with color blending. I Give each child 2 blobs of Play-Doh. Then ask the group what they think will happen if you squish the 2 blobs together. I try to coordinate the squishing so I count out, “1 squish, two squish, three squish. It works best with a small group (fewer than 10 kids). Libraryquine is hosting this week. Happy storytiming!

Baby Storytimes Baby storytimes provide libraries with the chance to serve our youngest patrons, and their parents and caregivers, too!
Read this great testimonial from a Douglas County Libraries patron about storytime benefits for babies AND adults. You can also hear about the benefits of baby storytime from a librarian's perspective, from Southern Peaks Public Library's Babette Reeves. Baby storytimes tend to be shorter than toddler and preschool storytimes. Baby Storytime Resources. My Baby Storytime. Weekly Storytime Songs. Favorite Songs & Rhymes for Baby Storytime. In four years of presenting my baby storytimes, I have used at least 100 different songs, rhymes, and bounces. (Yes, I counted once.)
Here are my greatest hits! These are the ones that I use over and over again (a couple of them every week), because they seem to work so well for the babies. Why do these work? Many of them are old standards, so even families who are new to my storytime can join in right away. But another reason they are successful is that these are the songs *I* love to sing and the bounces and rhymes that make *me* laugh.
