Keep children engaged in a love of reading and creative learning with Story Box Library’s Activity Time!
Activity Time resources help librarians and families encourage children to go beyond the book, with instructional PDFs and videos designed to spark creativity, curiosity and play.
Often with a focus on art or play, Activity Time sparks the imagination, supports life-long learning and promotes quality family time.
Get creative ideas for using Activity Time at your public library here!
Designed to be used alongside story reads in the library or at home, activities can also be built into outdoor and nature play programs from public libraries. Patrons can access Story Box Library via the StoryBox app for Apple and Android, or from any handheld mobile device or tablet. Find outdoor and nature play activity ideas here.
Activity Time resources can be found via the ‘Activities’ tab on each story page. You can also locate resources according to activity type, category, age group and more via the Resources page.
Story Box Library has also recently added over a dozen new Activity Time videos to the Short Film collection, which accompany story reads in the growing digital library.
