Budding Bookworms Wanted! Lapsit Story time (1-2 year olds) Topic: The Zoo

 "Spring Into Reading" with a bright and interactive song and dance-filled story time. Welcome to Budding Bookworms Lapsit Story time (Mondays at 10 am), where story time and play time are combined. We'll shake our wiggles out, sing, tell flannel board stories, read a book or two and have loads of fun. We use items such as egg shakers, streamers or bubbles to bring our story time to life. Bring your doll or teddy bear along so they can enjoy this story.

This week's story time topic is the zoo. We will bring the story time alive by reading one or two of these books: Hop! Plop! by Corey Rosen Schwartz and Monkey and Me by Emily Gravett.

It's a zoo out there! Here's a fun song to sing!
