You will find activities that complement some favourite storybooks for spring. The hands on activities are easy to colour and assemble from the provided patterns.  There are plenty of black line masters to photocopy as needed. Each storybook has at least one activity to complement it.

The storybooks listed in this resource are easy to find in soft cover at any quality children's bookstore. They are also available at most local libraries and in many school libraries.

In the classroom, storybooks are explored for a variety of reasons: to study the interesting illustrations, the repetitive text, the narrative styles and so on. The purpose of this resource is to promote literacy and the shared reading experience.
