FAMILY LAPSIT
This 15-20 minute program is for children ages 35 months and under and their parents. Singing, finger plays, puppets and nursery rhyme repetition are used to help foster healthy brain development and to potentially enhance early language skills. Occasionally scarves & parachute activities are used as well. Parents accompany their child(ren) and can interact with them in this fun and caring environment. Older and younger siblings are welcome.

We will use ribbons/streamers, shakers, lummi sticks, musical instruments, parachute activities, flannelboards, and a few books that may inspire kids to love coming to the library. Some weeks we may do a 5-10 minute art project. Bring your energy and come prepared to have fun!
