The Play and Learn area of the LE Phillips Memorial Public Library is big, beautiful, and super fun. It might seem implausible that a small library could do any of the cool things they are doing in such a lovely big space, but many of their offerings would work really well in a small space with limited resources.
Case in point? Alisha sent me some great photos of their Alphabet Road Trip--letters that look like roads, complete with matchbox cars for driving on them. She even said that if you want to contact her (alishagreen @ eauclaire.lib.wi.us) she is happy to share the PDF of the letters with you. Cool beans!
The same day, I got a message from Jill about a newscast the youth services staff did to promote their new play and learn activities. Fun? Definitely fun. Labels: alphabets, early literacy, early literacy environments, play
