Thanks to a few gentle suggestions from librarians who use story kits, I’ve been working on evaluating, weeding, updating them. There’s still a ways to go, but you’ll find some fresh books in:
- Birthdays
- Cats and Mice
- Feelings
- Transportation
- Vacations
I created new mix CDs with music from a variety of artists for several kits this year–some of these kits also got new books or activities:
- Around the World
- Bedtime
- Circus
- Clothing
- Colors
- Dogs
- Farms
- Music
- Nature Trip
- Nonsense
- Oceans
- Outer Space
- Winter
Wowza! I tried to look at titles, activities, and music that will meet the needs of younger children, since the storytime demographic seems to be shifting downwards a bit. If you haven’t used kits before and you want to give them a try, or if you’d given up on them because they are outdated, it might be worth taking a peek at them again!
