We don't get snow here very often, just every couple of years, so it's important to me to read books about it to my kids. It would be better if they could experience shoveling for themselves! We have other Stella books, I will add this to the list.

Brilliant. And although your activities are pre-school sized, the books are a good addition to the span of books needed in a fourth grade classroom! THANKS!

What a lovely program. I think I would enjoy it and I'm way out of the age range!

Just found your blog. Love it!

Great ideas! Building a sense of curiosity about something we dont' give much thought to...like frost. Now we need snow! I miss NYC in the snow. :(

Love it. Two of my new favorite snow related books are The Red Sled and No Two Alike. I've been seeing around the blogs an experiment where you fill a bigger Ziploc with Crisco and then sort of hollow it out and put a smaller one inside that. Kiddos put their hands inside the smaller one and then you put both bags into a container of ice water. Shows them how blubber can keep animals warm in cold climates. Other people explain it a lot better. ;]

Love these ideas! I'm totally going to use your first suggestion on my young toddler. Thanks for sharing and checking out my blog too :)

Thanks for all your positive thoughts on the Science & Stories program. It's one I'm kinda proud of.

Carol, I always did it only at the branch I worked at and now only at the one branch where I volunteer.

Also, to anyone who was looking for more snow books I also had as possibilities "Waiting for Winter" and the new book "Over and Under the Snow."

STEM Friday! Thank you! I'm grateful, too, for your sharing of these cool (heh heh) science books and experiences. I'm forwarding it to my sister who brings her young son to library programs. Thanks, too, for helping us all get commenting again. It's an important reminder to speak in the community. a.

I don't think I've been to a library program where the librarian incorporated science experiments into the storytime. Neat idea.
My daughter is trying to decide what she wants to do for the upcoming school science fair. Maybe we should ask our library if they want to exhibit some of the fair displays after the fair.

I love the idea of incorporating science activities! I have a pretty small storytime crowd right now, and have been looking for some more activities we can do, beyond a craft.

Thanks for posting some storytime suggestions -- just the thing when some of us have the winter storytellig doldrums.

What a great way for children to possibly love Science, technology, engineering and math, by making it FUN! I wish you success with your once a month presentations. I'm curious...is this just for one library or is it a traveling presentation?

We've been reading tons of snow books and yet I don't know any of these - except Stella, because you recommended it previously! I'll have to check them out. I wish it would snow here (NYC)...
