This fun and interactive program is intended for children aged 3-5 and their grownups. We start each week with a short story time, then move on to a fun activity that fosters early literacy skills and joyful learning. Examples of recent activities include:
* Using play dough to write our names
* Making menus using food pictures cut out of magazines and matching word cards
* “Writing” a picture story with a beginning, middle, and end, while grownups help scribe the words.
As a fun bonus, each child is invited to choose a free picture book to keep every time they attend. A big thanks to the Rotary Club of Damariscotta-Newcastle for supporting this work!
