Lambkins Storytime

Cute, fluffy, and sometimes mischievous, lambs provide an engaging subject for Preschool and Kindergarten storytimes.  Luckily ample books and fingerplays exist.

Don't forget to bleat--and get the kids to bleat, too.  Once you've all become sheep in your minds, you've bonded.  The rest is cake.  Not ba-a-a-ad!
