A Fun Place called Library

This is another post about the fun we had at our local library- the Arlington Heights Memorial Library.

The theme this time was ‘Under the Sea’.

Just like the surface of the ocean belies the amazing wondrous world beneath, this stand is deceptively simple and understated. For behind in its little shelves were masks, puppets, toys and more.

And of course we put on our own little puppet show with these adorable sea friends:

So, we essentially got to put in the puppet show, play shopkeeper at a beach shop, make sand castles, enjoy a masquerade and so much more.

I am always by the minimalistic but fun principle employed in the kids section at the library and indeed all kindergarten classes. It’s simple and self explanatory, enjoyable, cleanup is easy and quick.

What do you like about your library’s kiddie section? What are some tips you learnt over time from your visits?
