Tinker Storytime. Funny face rock puzzle. This week we pulled out some white rocks that were stashed away in the back of the craft cupboard for no particular purpose.
Sometimes I buy things, feeling sure that I will “make something one day”, but once they are put away they are completely forgotten about. Until the kids pull them out, of course, and decide to do some craft. Now to be completely honest, the kids did not make these rock puzzle pieces at all. I made them, and while I made them the kids did their own crafting beside me. Story telling wheel for The Snail and the Whale. Storytimes on Pinterest.

Story Time Secrets: Reflections on Library Service to Toddlers. I have been working with toddlers almost my entire adult life, but never in such great numbers or in such an unstructured environment as in the public library.
For the purposes of this post, I am defining toddlers as children who walk but who have not yet passed their third birthday, because this is how I separated toddlers from babies and preschoolers when I asked folks to register for toddler story time. Below are some general lessons I have learned from interacting with toddlers both in and out of the story time room.Toddler Tip #1: Communicate behavior expectations to parents and caregivers. Toddlers are just beginning to learn about boundaries, and their grown-ups are often just learning how to enforce them. While the rules of the library might seem like second nature to those of us who are in the library all day, that might not be the case for parents of toddlers.

I put a soft sheet of foam on the ground to keep the ornaments from making a loud crashing sound every time one dropped through the box and landed on the hard tile. DIY play envelopes & stamps.
