Building on the success of their original “Winter Wonderland”, this new workshop is customized to present simple winter-themed books and activity ideas especially designed for infants and toddlers:). This session will help refresh and rejuvenate your planning process with new ideas that support winter themed, sensory-based, early learning activities. A variety of literacy extension ideas based on the rhymes, songs and books presented will be provided as a resource after workshop completion. Designed for those working with infants and toddlers, participants will leave the workshop with plenty of new resources that can be easily incorporated into programming, both indoors and outdoors in the winter months.
