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.
