Preschool Storytime Ideas
Cowboys and Cowgirls Storytime
A popular theme for a summer storytime is “Cowboys and Cowgirls.” There are several possible crafts ideas, but one of the easiest is to make bandanas. Cut triangles of cloth from muslin, or an old bedsheet, and let the kids decorate their bandanas with rubber stamps or fabric paint. Thanks to Linda Fields for this booklist.
