storytime katie – one librarian's journey into storytimeland Storytime Plans | literacious Here’s a comprehensive list of my storytime lesson plans (mainly toddler). Each lesson plan has the books, music, fingerplays, flannel boards, and wiggles songs for the theme. I’ve also included my most recent storytime programs that are completely theme-less, but include a lot of great read aloud books for toddlers! I hope you find this list a help in coming up with new ideas for your own storytime or reading to your little one!
