Storytime Idea - Fish

📚 Fish themed library storytime ✂ī¸

đŸ”ĩ Two new release Australian picture books and one classic - all featuring water creatures who frown 🐟☹ī¸
đŸ”ĩ Rhyme and a refrain made these three fun readalouds, perfect for ages 2-5
đŸ”ĩ We talked about what made each character turn their frowns upside down (hint: 😘, 🏠, đŸ‘¯â€â™€ī¸)
đŸ”ĩ kids were fascinated by axolotyl and blobfish facts.

đŸ”ĩ Blobfish craft
Skills ✂ī¸ (of big shape, I cut the small bits), glueing and assembling. Kids chose whether their blobfish had a ☚ī¸ or 🙂
đŸ”ĩ All kids got a small ball of play-do to make a fish shape then squash it to make a blobfish 🐟
