FREE Peep and the Big Wide World Event Kit

forwarded from  Gay Mohrbacher, Outreach Project Director, WGBH Educational Foundation

WGBH/Boston, a leading producer of quality children's programming and award-winning resources for educators, is pleased to offer librarians a FREE Peep and the Big Wide World Event Kit. The kit has resources for organizing 3 different hands-on science events for preschoolers.

This free kit is available as part of the educational outreach linked to the WGBH-produced, EmmyR Award-winning series, Peep and the Big Wide World. The goal of the series and its outreach is to nurture young children's interest in science play and discovery.

 
The kit includes informative Leader's Guides that outline how to set-up and run the 3 separate events, which focus on the themes of Shadows, Structures, and Ramps. Related reproducible materials for families attending the events are also provided.

SLA members interested in receiving the Event Kit should contact gay_mohrbacher@wgbh.org by September 30th. (One Event Kit is available per library branch while supplies last).

Later this spring, the Event Kit materials will also be available on the Peep and the Big Wide World Website. For more information about the series, visit that site at peepandthebigwideworld.org/about.
