Hearts, dots, and other shapes, oh my, a storytime blog
With Valentine's day just around the corner, some of you story time storytellers might already be tired of the candy hearts and cards. Here is an alternative to your same old Valentine themed story time: Shapes Storytime. It gives you a wide range of options and could be used for any age group including an all ages storytime. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. And you can focus on hearts as much as you want or don't want.
