Your little one will enjoy a variety of games, toys, activities, and art experiences while making new friends and developing important social skills. Ages 1 to 4 preferred; open play, semi-supervised.
Play is the work of childhood! We offer games and experiences that help to develop skills such as sorting, matching, learning shapes and colors, building, making music, dramatic play, and more. We have simple art/craft activities as well, for practicing scissor skills, drawing and coloring, and using art materials. This program will be semi-supervised by library staff. Stay as little or as long as you like.
Did you know that the United Disabilities Services in Akron has a Toy Resource Center where you can get a membership and borrow toys and other materials?
