I presented 3 storytimes with a partner today, and we shared some of our favorites! The children were in three classes that came to the library from a local preschool, ranging in ages from 3-5. We had over 100 children and teachers if we add all of them together! We changed things up a bit each time to keep it interesting. The following is a combination of what we used:
Hello song: "My Hand Waves Hello"
