I took my children one day that I had off from work to the Toddler Storytime and my oldest (18mo at the time) had a BLAST! She wasn't quite following along like the other kids but she was taking it all in! It's also a great way to network and meet other moms that have children your own age. Not to mention that this is a FREE activity! What better way to introduce your child to the wonderful world of literature and spark their imagination.
