All
events
listed are subject to change - check back for the latest and greatest!
Events are also first come, first play, and certain events
may
be, as they say, while supplies last.
We are continuing our
Page
to Play
Book Readings and Play Activities at the store. We will
be doing Page
to Play at 10:30am on every Tuesday. Page
to Play is our own custom designed reading and play-based activity
program. We start out with a book
reading. We then pull the
themes and ideas off the page and incorporate them into a play-based
activity. These play activities are designed to both
reinforce
and enhance understanding of the book, as well as to demonstrate
techniques and methods whereby books and stories can be incorporated
into fun and imaginative play. Page to Play is designed for
ages 18 months to 4 years.
