Preschool Storytime Visits: Spring!

Today I visited a daycare/preschool here in town. I presented 3 different storytimes; the first was for ages 1-2, the second for ages 4-5, and the third was for ages 2-3. Each lasted a half hour.  We all had a good time with these materials that celebrate spring!
