babies & brew #2 family literacy workshop
Last month, we held our first session of Babies & Brew: Playtime for Them, Coffee for You! It was extremely successful, better than i ever dreamed possible. while my previous (& mostly very low attended) monthly parent workshops had been mostly lecture style presentations, this was simply an unstructured playtime for the little ones while the parents snacked & socialized.I also added a different sensory or early learning activity, something created with easy to find, household type items so they could be replicated at home by the caregivers.
now came the big question: caregivers showed up in October but would they return for MORE Babies & Brew in November?
the answer was YES! over 20 caregivers attended today's Dinosaur themed workshop. I followed basically the same formula as last month so i set up toys in the children's area. Coffee, donuts and other snacks were available in the middle of the room. Two activity stations were set up in the adult area (since we are closed to the public on monday mornings, we get the whole first floor to ourselves!)
Station #1: Dinosaur Color Sorting
I heard many of the parents discussing color & size with their little ones at this table! I bought little silver pails in the Dollar section at Target for sorting into. our dinos are just foam stickers, so very affordable. next time, i would like to invest in nice plastic dinosaur counters from Lakeshore Learning.
After they were finished sorting, kids could get a dino sticker from the green dinosaur's mouth!
Station #2: Dinosaur Play Doh
one of my favorite moms told me that her son had never used play doh before because of the messy factor so it was the perfect library activity! i bought these little dinosaur figures on amazon super cheap and they were perfect for making dino tracks & fossils in the playdoh.
I found the Dino-Sort idea HERE and the play doh one HERE but there are TONS of great ideas for dinosaur activities all over pinterest. that's actually how i ended up with TWO stations this month instead of one like i had last time. i could not choose just one, LOL!
