Several children got creative and built a wood castle 🏰 out of bark, sticks and broken log pieces 🪵! They even stuck pieces into the stump base to prevent them from falling over. Each child worked together to put the castle together! Creative!

Painting and washing animals. This fun activity develops fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and sensory processing. Cause and effect is also at play here!

When I lived in Alaska I saw Imagination Library in action! Thanks Dolly Parton RIP!

Thank you, Dolly.

For decades, Dolly Parton has helped put books into the hands of millions of young children through her Imagination Library, beginning at birth.

And those books represent so much more than learning to read.

In the earliest years, sharing a book is a chance for babies and toddlers to hear new words, explore the world, connect with the people who love them and build the relationships that help their brains grow. Long before a child can read the words on a page, they’re learning through every story, snuggle, point and conversation.

Inspired by her own father, who never had the opportunity to learn to read, Dolly turned a deeply personal experience into a commitment to making books more accessible to families, regardless of where they live or what they earn.

Her work is a powerful reminder that every child deserves opportunities to learn, connect and thrive from the very beginning.

Thank you, Dolly, for believing in babies.
