Lively Babies 2012
Introducing your child to the delights of books and reading is one of the greatest joys of parenthood.
It is a well proven fact that babies who are sung to in the cradle, read to in the cot, and who handle books while still at the crawling stage have a head start educationally, emotionally and socially compared to a child from a non-story, non-book environment. *Maurice Saxby Books in the life of a child (1997)
The Lively Babies program at Council's Libraries offers a relaxed, informal pre-literacy learning session for babies and their carers.Yeppoon Library.
Lively Babies consists of stories, rhymes, lullabies, fingerplays, songs and chants. The thirty minute lapsit program encourages participation, learning, and socialization for babies and parents.
Lively Babies is suitable for infants and toddlers up to two years of age.
It's also fun and it's free. Contact your library for more information.
