It’s officially baseball season and I’m surprised that I’ve never written a storytime lesson plan for baseball! It was much harder than I expected to find baseball geared toward toddlers and preschoolers. I found a lot more for an elementary school-age audience, but I think you’d be able to pull something together for any age you needed with the books below. As always, I’ve tried to include some songs and rhymes as well as some craft ideas too to hit a home run at storytime.
