Bikes
The 2018 summer reading/learning program from iRead and the California Library Association is READING TAKES YOU EVERYWHERE!: www.ireadprogram.org/ and calchallenge.org/ . A great way to focus on this for toddler and preschool storytime is with transportation-themed storytimes. Between now and June, BayNews will offer transportation storytime ideas to help you promote READING TAKES YOU EVERYWHERE! This month, we feature the topic of bikes. For a craft project, make these toilet paper tube bike handle decorations: https://alphamom.com/family-fun/holidays/4th-of-july-craft-parade-streamers-for-bicycles-and-scooters/.
