hating on love, a storytime
Meant to share our resources from the week of Valentines (or as I like to call it, National Singles Awareness Day). My storytime was the night after VD, so we did love. And for the record, this was hands down, WORST storytime I've ever done. Sometimes the parents don't get into it, whatever, but that night even the kids were quiet and I just felt awkward as ass...maybe it's because the kids hate fake, "love based," holidays too?

Flannel Board: “Five Little LOVE Birds”
One little LOVE bird with lovely feathers blue.
He sat beside a red LOVE bird.
That made two.
Two little LOVE birds singing in a tree,
A green one came to join them
That made three.
Three little LOVE birds wishing there were more.
Along came an orange LOVE bird
That made four.
Four little LOVE birds, glad to be alive.
Along came a pink LOVE bird.
That made five.
Five little LOVE birds sang happy songs all day.
The five little LOVE birds spread their wings
And they all flew away.
