It's always fun to go to the library for story time, but story time at home can be just as exciting.
Have your child invite a friend over, lay a big blanket on the floor, gather a stack of books and just read. Keep it simple or add props (puppets, stuffed animals, paper cut-outs etc.) to help tell your stories. You may also choose to plan a craft around one of the books you read.
The one rule of story time, however, is that it MUST be followed by a yummy snack!
To spice things up a little bit, invite a friend or neighbor over to be the guest reader. It's always fun to hear from someone new.
***We went to a friend's house for a special story time last week and my girls LOVED it. The combination of the new environment, new books, and someone new reading to them,(not to mention the yummy cake she fed them afterward) made it extra exciting for them. I think they would've let her read to them all day.***
Try it! They'll love it.
