I've been wanting to do a King,Queen/crown theme for awhile but couldn't seem to pull it all into a complete storytime. But!... Ta da! I think it's ready now! This is my chance to use a favorite of mine,
King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey and Don Wood. I could use
Lullabyhullaballo by Mick Inkpen or
King Jack and the Dragon by Peter Bentley, illustrated by one of my favorites, Helen Oxenbury. Or...I can tell the story of the Princess and the Pea and use this cute idea from
Read, Sarah, Read. If I tell the Princess and the Pea, I can use this adorable idea from
The Voices Inside My Headphones! I also have a flannelboard story that I've written
HERE and I made flannelboard pieces to tell it. I didn't want to make people so I made symbols for the people in my story. I use a lot of glitter, sequins and 'jewels'. You know those royals just love shiny things!
I plan on using the mirror, shield, wizard hat and dragon's cave for a game; "Where's the king's crown?" similar to the 'Little Mouse hiding in the color house' game. There's going to be a lot of Royal Storytime Fun!!
