Looking for a fun and engaging activity for your little one? The Baby & Toddler Storytime and Playdate at the Sanibel Public Library is the perfect event for children ages 0 to 4 years old and their caregivers. This recurring event takes place every Tuesday morning at 10:30 AM, providing a wonderful opportunity for young children to develop early literacy skills while having fun through sensory play, interactive stories, and more.

Event Highlights

• Storytime for Little Ones: This event begins with a short, engaging storytime session tailored specifically for babies and toddlers. The stories are designed to capture the attention of young children while promoting early language development and literacy skills.

Through shared activities like reading and playing, caregivers can strengthen their connection with their child and support their early development.
