Craft
We are working on a number book. I had teen volunteer fold construction paper in half, then hole-punched three holes in the covers and each page in the book. Each week, we color a new number picture together at daycare!
How It Went
One was a harder number to find books for than I thought it would be. I found a lot of books that counted up to ten and I really wanted books to highlight each number instead of be a cumulative series of counting books over and over again. “One Spooky Night” was the biggest hit, as I did this storytime right before Halloween.
storytime katie 
Are you planning a series of number storytimes? If so, I imagine the numbers between 3 and 10 might be tricky?
I’ve actually already completed number seven and am planning eight tonight! It took a little bit of out-of-the-box thinking, but a lot of great results!
I think this is great storytime plan tho!
Thank you!
What a cute idea! I agree, the numbers 3-10 (with the exception of 5) might be tricky, but you’re so creative that I wouldn’t put it past you! 😉
Number three, five, and seven were SO EASY. Six took a bit of work, as did four. I’m starting on planning eight tonight and then only nine left!
Katie, so sorry! I should never have doubted you (obviously I was thinking of me rather than you)!
No, I didn’t take it that way at all! I was also worried things would get murky after three! Can’t wait to share my selections with everyone. 😀
Oh, I recently read ‘nine naughty kittens’ by Lisa Jennings. 😊
Thanks! I will look it up tomorrow.
