Gingerbread House Storytime
Last Saturday I had a Gingerbread House storytime. The main attraction was getting to decorate Gingerbread Houses that we have displayed in the library. I didn't have high expectations on turnout! This was only our 2nd Saturday storytime and sometimes things take a while to catch on.
I was pleasantly surprised with our turnout! Apparently decorating Gingerbread is a huge draw!
I had planned on using flannelboards and even a few songs but in the end, the crowd was much older than I had anticipated. So I just stuck with a few books, after all, clearly the main draw was the houses!
I was super excited to share my all-time favorite Gingerbread book which is:
I also shared a variation of The Gingerbread Man and a Maisy book. Because who doesn't love Maisy?

Love the side walk and greenery.
This house has a wreath!
A good time was had by all! And my Children's section is a little more festive thanks to these lovely houses.
