Wordless Books

Wordless books can be a little overwhelming for adults but they are fun to share with kids and offer so many opportunities for storytelling. When you read a book without words, slow down and take your time. Talk about the pictures and describe what is happening. Take turns making up a story together - you can keep it simple!

I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little tea pot, short and stout.

Here is my handle, here is my spout. (place one hand on your hip and the other sticking out from your body like a spout)

When I get all steamed up, hear me shout.

Tip me over and pour me out! (lean to the side to pour the tea)
