At my library, we have a theme for storytime. We also noticed that we have better attendance at the monthly evening storytimes when we do something different than the daytime ones. One month might be a puppet show with our big puppet stage. Then another month the high school drama club will do a reader's theater skit for us.
This fall we are focusing on authors. September focuses on one of my new favorites - Jan Thomas. We are going to do a puppet show for Rhyming Dust Bunnies. Natasha the Artsy Librarian has a great make your own dust bunnies if you not able to find the dusters from the Dollar Store.
Jan Thomas' website if filled with goodies. We do a simple craft and sometimes an activity after the storytime. This month we are doing both: rhyming activity with the dust bunnies and make your own fat cat puppets. The rhyming activity is also great for in-library use. We printed off words that rhyme and the kids have to match them.

Jan Thomas is a storytime winner every time. Any time you read her books, you always get a good reaction. I've been using the books for years with great success.
