I thought I should start by providing some links to websites that I have found very helpful for planning storytimes:
Funschool's Animal ABC Coloring pages
There is a separate animal coloring page for each letter of the alphabet--I print these for the kids to take home after storytime is over.
Starfall.com's Alphabet Worksheets
I also give out these printing practice worksheets. They include pictures of things beginning with each letter, and give kids the opportunity to trace and then print the letters themselves.
The Best Kids' Book Site!
The self-proclaimed bestkidsbooksite.com is a great resource. It is one of the tools I use on a regular basis, not only for alphabet storytime ideas, but also for any other theme I might be doing. Includes book lists, songs and craft ideas for just about any theme you can think of!
Preschool Express
I use this mostly for finding songs (thank you, Jean Warren!), but the site also includes online stories, craft ideas and other preschool-friendly activities.
Storytime Source Page Blog
Story Share Blog
These are other storytime blogs that I've found helpful in the past--both of these bloggers have done an impressive job!
