Frozen Story Time

Frozen Story Time

For my Youth Literature course, I was required to conduct a story time with a local group of children. Of course, I couldn't just present a regular story time. I HAD to make a costume for it. I am always a big fan of Disney so I decided to go with that. After a quick survey of the children I knew, I went with Elsa because she is apparently all little kiddos like this day.

So I made my costume and put together a winter themed story time. Below are the results!
