This Zoo Is Not For You: A Fun Storytime Activity
This week’s Zoo Storytime is sure to be a hit! We’re featuring the delightful book “This Zoo Is Not For You” by Ross Collins. This charming story follows an adventurous little girl exploring a zoo, only to find that none of the animals are right for her.
The Story
The story starts with our little protagonist, who is bored. She visits each of the animal exhibits, but none of them seem quite right for her. She notices a zoo and decides to explore. She meets a giraffe that’s too tall, a lion that’s too loud, and a monkey that’s too naughty.
Finally, she finds a place that feels just right for her. It’s a quiet corner of the zoo with a bench and sky view. She sits down and enjoys the peacefulness of the moment.
A Fun Activity
This book is a great way to introduce children to exploring and finding their special places. To make the story even more fun, why not turn it into an activity?
First, read the story together. Then, have the children draw a picture of their special place. It could be a place in the zoo or somewhere else entirely. Please encourage them to use their imaginations and create something unique.
Once they’ve finished their drawings, have them share their special places with the group. Discuss why they chose that particular spot and what makes it special.
A Valuable Lesson
This story is a great way to teach children how to find their special place. It reminds everyone is unique and has something special to offer.
Exploring and discovering our special places can be a great way to relax and find peace. It can also help us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
So, why not take some time this week to explore and find your special place? You might be surprised at what you find!
