Every week the crew and I look forward to Tuesday story time at the library. While we are there we stuff our library bag full of books, movies, and cd’s.
Did you know that you can find books on cd there? Even basic stories like the Little Red Hen and Biscuit stories. I am no expert in child development by any means but I am positive that Josiah following along as he listens to a person reading on a cd is doing something for his reading development. He absolutely loves it too!
We also, get Toddler music cds. These are really awesome because we listen to them during breakfast, lunch, while we play, and color. A lot of people leave their tv on for “background noise.” I think this is a great alternative. They have really learned a lot of things from these cd’s and they aren’t just sitting in front of the screen. Choose cds that have songs about the alphabet, vowels, days of the week, seasons, and rhyming words. Getting cd’s from the library gives us variety while staying on a budget. If we like something enough THEN we can choose to buy it instead of buying tons of annoying kids music and hating it.
I think we keep our library in business. Someone once told me that a library gets more funding depending on how many books arechecked out. So, grab a strong bag and pack up the crew and go find your local library!
