toys– we have over 400 on the shelves. Throughout the
year, as always, we encourage and appreciate any suggestions or feedback you may have for the committee. You can
make contact via email, Facebook, or in person. We also
welcome anyone who may be interested in joining our
committee, and attending our monthly meetings on Monday nights. These are casual and non-intimidating. On a final and very important note, thank you members for supporting our wonderful Toy Library. We exist because of you.

TOY REVIEW– LITTLE PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT TOWN
My children (2 and 3 years old) are big fans of
this toy. We have borrowed it many times, and to
my surprise they continue to explore it. It comes
with 10 round circles/apples, which can be
slotted into a tree. With the sound turned on, a
voice counts each one in. Children can explore
the ‘town’, which includes a doctor and dentist
office with a weight scale and dentist chair, a pizza shop, and a home. There’s also a
mini magna-doodle, 2 people characters, and spinning coloured tile pictures. I recommend this fun one for toddlers.

TOY LIBRARY COSTUMES
We have found that many of our kids love to dress up, so in recent
months we have purchased some new costumes to add to our collection. This includes: A Ballerina, Fairy Dress, Iggle Piggle, Snow White,
Vet , Pilot, Chef, Doctor, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Fireman,
Superman, Pirate, Nurse, Princess, Clown, Magician and an Astronaut.
From an early age, play is important to a child's development and learning. It isn't
just physical. It can involve cognitive, imaginative, creative, emotional and social
aspects. It is the main way most children express their impulse to explore, experiment and understand. Children of all ages play.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
5 LESSONS IN LIFE, BY DR SEUSS
1 Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
2 Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
3 You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
4 Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter
and those who matter don’t mind.
5 – Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.
