Storycraft : 50 Theme-based Programs Combining Storytelling, Activities and Crafts for Children in Grades 1-3 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

While storytelling is a great favorite of preschoolers, many elementary age children are more drawn to crafts and other activities.

StoryCraft is an award-winning library program that combines storytelling with crafts in an exciting and engaging activity for children in first through third grades.

Each one-hour program includes storytelling, a craft, movement, activities, music, and discussion.

This collection of StoryCraft programs presents 50 fun and educational theme-based sessions.

Each includes suggestions for promotion, music, crafts, activities, and stories.

The sessions also include bibliographies to help direct young readers toward additional reading, as well as diagrams, detailed instructions, and supply lists for the crafts.

The themes range from a Jungle Safari to Math Mayhem to a Western Roundup, all encouraging children to enjoy reading in a variety of ways.

Each session has plenty of suggestions, so that the program can be customized.

Helpful Hints for implementing the program can help any librarian, volunteer, or parent turn a ho-hum storytime into a dazzling StoryCraft time.
