Love Them Out Loud Kits

LOVE THEM OUT LOUD

Baby Kits -- $10/kit + Shipping
New parents are eager to give their babies the best start in life, and parents are their child’s first (and best) teacher. Love Them Out Loud supports parents by showing them how reading, playing, singing, and talking are the foundation for developing a lifetime of learning.

Each specially branded box contains:

• an original board book titled I Love You Out Loud, which entertains babies with rhymes and colorful illustrations, while depicting for parents some of the simple things they can do to engage their child in learning;
• a hands-free easel flipbook offers caregiver tips along with rhythmic games for babies.
• a Library Card application, so parents can begin to access the materials and resources that are available to them at their Library. (Note: Library Card applications are interchangeable to promote your local library.)

LOVE THEM OUT LOUD, On the Go!

Toddler Kits -- $12/Kit + Shipping
After the great success of the first Love Them Out Loud kit, Dayton Metro Library was dedicated to continue the learning by creating a resource for toddlers, Love Them Out Loud, On the Go!

The On the Go! kit includes:

• a second board book, telling the story of the toddler learning while out in the community;
• a box covered in rhymes for hand-eye playing and reading;
• a shaker egg, which complements the toddler’s development and aligns with early literacy skills;
• an invitation to receive DML “Text Tips,” to leverage opportunities that encourage learning through everyday experiences.

The toddler stage is a great time to reinforce the active things in everyday life that are teachable moments. Because quality early education looks like play, simply using the Toddler Kit sets parents and children on the right path for early literacy! There’s no pressure – just play!
