Enjoy a PLAY! Kit at home with your toddlers and preschoolers. Each themed kit contains 6 to 7 books, an educational toy, and a song sheet. There is also a tip sheet for using the items in the kit to engage children in the five early literacy skill practices: Reading, Talking, Singing, Writing, and Playing. Language-rich, child-centered play fosters early literacy, social emotional growth, problem solving skills, and the confidence to take on new challenges. Developing these skills now will help your child be ready for school!
PLAY! Kits can be checked out from the Children’s Room and circulate for 2 weeks, no renewals. Kit themes include Dinosaurs, Fairies, Emotions, Music, and more! Stop by and see what kits we have available to take home today!
The PLAY! Kits are brought to you by the Mind in the Making Grant, federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
