i've been hired to do storytelling at birthday parties for children five years and under. the storytelling will last for 20 minutes. of course boys and girls will be in attendance. I may even play the guitar and sing during the story, and have the children join in.

I'll need to feature props of some sort to keep them entertained as well if not now, then later on.

What suggestions do you have for entertaining children 5 & under. Games will be considered too.
