We’re heading outdoors for this month’s playtime while we explore activities inspired by life on the farm. Play in mud, explore tractors, and dramatic play experiences while making new friends.
Playtime is popping up at your neighborhood library! Drop in for hands-on, open-ended, STEAM, and creative play experiences. Explore, create, make friends, share stories, and play with us. Discover and explore something new each month. Children learn through play, and we like to play in the Library.
Pop Up Playtime is designed for children 2 to 5 years old with an adult caregiver, but all ages are welcome.
Contact the Children's Library & Teen Division at 330.643.9050 or cldiv@akronlibrary.org for more information.
