Little Makers: Program Planning and Implementation

Based on the successful Little Makers program at New Hampshire's Keene Public Library, this webinar will offer insight into running both in-person and virtual making and tinkering programs for children ages 2-6, with parents and caregivers playing a pivotal role. We'll explore why making and tinkering are essential to early childhood development and how you can modify or enhance your current early childhood offerings to best meet the needs of your library and community.

At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

• Discover why making and tinkering experiences are a natural addition to early childhood programming at the library.
• Walk away with new ideas for creating both in-person and virtual experiences for children ages 2-6 and their adult caregivers.
• Leave with activity ideas, book recommendations, and inspiration on the materials and supplies that can create quality making and tinkering experiences on any budget

All the information is based on our new, freely available Little Makers Toolkit!
