Storytime Outline/Lesson Plan: Pets! Free Printable

Looking for a fun and engaging way to host a pet-themed storytime for little ones? We've got you covered with a free printable outline that includes stories, activities, and plenty of interactive elements to keep kids entertained!

This storytime features two beloved books: City Animals and Where's Spot?. Start by introducing the theme of pets, talking about different types of animals and what makes them special. City Animals introduces kids to pets and animals found in an urban setting, while Where’s Spot? is a playful, interactive story that encourages children to help find the missing puppy.

To make the session even more engaging, we’ll use scarves, shakers, and puppets! The scarves can represent different pets—hold them up like tails, ears, or even use them to act out movements. Shakers can be used for sound effects, such as wagging tails or animals making noise. And of course, puppets bring the stories to life in a way that’s sure to captivate.

This printable outline includes all the activities, suggestions for interactions, and even prompts to keep the kids involved. Whether you’re a librarian, daycare provider, or parent, this pet-themed storytime is sure to be a hit!
