I love reading to my daughter – but let’s be real – sometimes it’s nice when it is someone else doing the page turning and character voice perfecting so I can zone out watch my daughter learn!
Story Time outings are perfect for a chilly, rainy, or just too darn hot to play outside day. And since all of those weather conditions could happen within the same week in Oklahoma – we’ve put together a guide to story time in OKC! Did we miss your favorite story time? Let us know and we’ll get it added to the list!
