You might have noticed a new addition to our website – Kids Kits. We’ve had requests for a list or even a menu of kits, and it seemed like the perfect time, especially now that our kits can be put on hold.
We have three main sections of kits – Early Learning, Beginning Reading, and STEAM. Here’s a few of my favorite kits from each section. If you need a kit recommendation or want to learn more, our librarians are happy to help.
Early Learning: Princess
Newly updated with fun bedtime books and even a Princess cookbook! The cape fits all ages – yes, even I can put it on.
Early Learning: Black and White
Our babies aren’t born with fully developed eyes. They slowly gain the ability to see color and focus on objects farther from their face. Providing high contrast black and white books is a great way to engage our littlest ones, especially during activities like tummy time!
Beginning Reading: Hot Dots
Hot dots are a fun way to learn words and sounds. With the smart pen enabled, kids can press the dots on each page, and the pen will tell them whether their guess is right.
Beginning Reading: Word Family Tiles
These fun tiles can be used to make different words. Best of all, they’re magnetic –– you can put a few on the fridge, dishwasher, or even a cookie sheet and let your kids sound out words to their hearts’ content.
STEAM: Capacity and Volume
Okay, serious question here: What kid doesn’t like playing with water? This fun, approachable kit lets your kiddos learn more about capacity and volume with hands-on measuring tools.
STEAM: Dinosaur Fossils
This is by far one of our favorite, best-circulating kits. Take a look at fossil replica teeth and claws, make rubbings of fossil arrangements, and learn more about dinosaurs. It’s the perfect kit for your budding paleontologist.
