Not a Flannel Friday: Super Friends to Save the Day!

It's October already!

Can you believe it?!??!

Well, that means one thing ~ Halloween is just around the corner!

It also means that it is time for our new Storytime theme ~ 

Let's Pretend!

This year I decided to change up my October storytime offerings and do a month long theme all about dressing up and playing pretend. When I mentioned this idea to my storytime friends back in September, several of them mentioned Superheroes as a favorite dress-up theme. So... that is how our first week of October became our:

Super Friends to Save the Day!

Storytime and Game Night

I had more fun than I ever imagined while preparing for my first ever Super Friends Storytime. And I look forward to sharing all the super fun activities, songs, rhymes, and books we shared this week but, for now, I will share only one. It is a bright and colorful Super Friends version of the book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, by Bill Martin, Jr. and Eric Carle.  It also has a little tweak to it based on the book, The Amazing Adventures of BATHMAN!, by Andrew T. Pelletier:

Our first Super Friend to be placed on the magnetic board is a my version of Bathman ~ 

with his super special glow-in-the-dark goggles on!
