Baby Bucket List

We have five different summer reading topics for your child to choose from!

  • Ocean
  • Dinosaurs
  • Things that Go
  • Princesses
  • Space

Once your child picks the topic that interests them the most, ask your librarian for the corresponding bag. Each bag contains instructions and materials for a full week of themes activities that you can complete at home to support your child’s development, focus on fine motor, sorting skills, and more. There is also a themed book list to go with your packets.

When you complete 3 bucket lists, your child will earn a small bucket of prizes!
