Sammy the Sloth came to storytime this week!!!

Did you know that sloths are faster in the water than they are on land? They are 3 times stronger than humans. They only come down from their trees once a week to…you guessed it!..poop!… and Sloths have a colony of hundreds of bugs living in their fur???

Try this song with your kiddos:

Five Little Sloths Went Climbing One Day

Sing to the tune of “Five Little Ducks.”

Five little sloths went climbing one day
High in the canopies, where they like to play
The mama sloth called, ‘aahh-eeeee’
And only four little sloths came back
Count down until no sloths come back …
A worried mama sloth went climbing one day
High in the canopies, where they like to play
The mama sloth called, ‘aahh-eeeee’
And all the little sloths came back!

Just a few pictures from our May Day storytime this morning!!

Did you know?
May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on May 1, around halfway between the Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox and midsummer solstice.

If you missed storytime this morning, don't worry. We'll celebrate May Day again during our First Tuesday Evening Storytime!
