BOOK WORMS

Picture

Douglas-Hart is calling all book worms to dig deeper into nature with a story time that ends with a  'Creative Challenge' based on the story. These story time videos are made by educators from Douglas-Hart and are FREE for anyone to use. Enjoy! Don't forget to tag us on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) @douglashartnc or email us to show off your completed Creative Challenges!
