For National Literacy Awareness week I wanted to create an activity that would be educational and fun for parents and children. Typically on Monday afternoons I run a Toddler program where moms and their toddlers come for storytime and parenting information. In order to keep the storytime theme going I decided to invite an exceptional librarian to the YWCA to deliver the storytime in celebration of NLAW.
The librarian, Brandon, did an excellent job delivering an entertaining storytime! After storytime, we began the craft activity. Each person drew or painted the places that they go when they read into a giant sized book. She also informed the listeners about how they can obtain library cards and about the events that take place at the library.
Each mother and child got to unleash their artistic creativity in the name of reading. Everyone had a great time while learning more about the importance of literacy!
