Featured Storybag: The Giant Jam Sandwich

We have a new Storybag available to borrow! The Giant Jam Sandwich is a really cute story about a community coming together to solve a problem in a unique way. This is a board book, but the story is a higher level of writing with more difficult vocabulary. The story rhymes so it makes a great read-aloud book. The bag includes a wooden sandwich toy set and activities ranging from color and trace pages to a simple math chart. Recommended age range: Preschool to Grade 2

For those not familiar with the program, Storybags are a great way to engage and share literacy with your child. Each Storybag contains activities, props and games related to a children’s book. Most bags have activities for different ages, so all siblings can participate. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us.

Baby Babble and Toddler Talk Fall 2013

We are so excited to be running our popular Baby Babble and Toddler Talk program again this fall. Our first session was held on October 2nd with a great turnout. We were glad to see some returning faces as well as  newcomers. If you have a little one between 0-3 years, we would love to see you on Wednesday afternoons in Room #7 in the Martensville Civic Centre. Moms, dads, guardians and siblings are welcome!

Our first session was mainly a meet-and-greet for both the little ones and their parents. The rest of the program will be a mix of information session and playtime.
