The Little Sprouts tubs are intended for baby or toddler "book clubs" either in a home or childcare setting. Each child and caregiver has the same book to read along with the other children and caregivers in the group. A baby book club for infants and toddlers is an opportunity for young children to have hands-on experience with print materials, to hear and learn new words, and to develop their conceptual thinking.
Each tub contains:
- 10 identical board books
- 10 shaker eggs
- A caregiver guide with early literacy tips and activities
The tubs are not themed.
*The Little Sprouts Book Club Tubs were created as part of the Ready to Read Alaska project (2008-2021), which was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Alaska State Library under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.*
