Hi, Josh
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I'm a birth through five specialist in Basehor, KS. I used your pizza story time last week with my preschoolers. They loved it, especially the song (This is the way we kneed the dough, etc.) using scarves. I have my own story time blog at basehorstorytime.blogspot.com Hope you are still presenting story times.
