                                    Story Time Backpacks

                                    Story Time Backpack Themes

                                    Reading, singing, playing, writing, and talking promote literacy and help you prepare your child for kindergarten. These story time backpacks include materials to support these activities.

                                    We recommend alternating between stories, songs, and rhymes. Save the craft project for the end of your story time. Children love to hear their favorite songs and books over and over. Do not hesitate to add or repeat a book, song, or rhyme.

                                    You will need to return the Story Time Back Pack and the materials that say “need to return.” You may keep the activity sheet and the craft materials.

                                    Stop by the children’s desk for more books or ideas for your story time!
