Activity: Habitat Matching Game from Falling Flannelboards
We started with pictures of seven different types of habitats. The kids then picked an animal and had to match it to its habitat.
It was a fun way to incorporate a STEAM activity into our storytime! (And the kids had a lot of fun with it!)

Craft: Shape Houses! From The Measured Mom
We built our own houses today!
I put out triangles, squares, and rectangles and let the kids design a house. They colored it in and added stars, grass, trees, etc.
