Circulation Toys

Looking for some new toys?  Check something out from the Library!  We’ve got you covered with fun games like...

Feed the Monkey: work on that pincer grip and feel like you’re accomplishing something.

Easy-Twist Animal Builders: fine motor skills, matching, and crazy animals.

And a personal favorite, Don’t Let the Bugs Fall: it’s like Jenga with dice.  (You can see SPL librarians playing this game at the Somerville Media Center!)

Available at all three locations, our circulating toy collection will meet your needs -- and meet needs you didn’t know you had.  For example...

• Can’t get your kids to the playground in the snow? Try the Side to Side Balance Board for gross motor activity!  

• Don’t want a loud toy in your house permanently?  We understand.  Check out our Xylophone, and then bring it back! 

• Baby’s turning one?  You need Baby’s First Birthday Band -- but you’ll never need it again, so you can return it after the party!

• Going on a car ride?  Keep both kids busy in the backseat with the Race to the Finish Magnetic Maze.

• A budding actress in your house?  Endless puppet shows with our Storytelling Puppet Sets: Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Go Away Big Green Monster, Fairytale Puppets, and the Three Little Pigs. 

• Here in town for a short time period?  Someone with kids visiting?  Leave your toys at home, and check out a rotating selection for your kiddo while you visit with grandparents or friends, or complete a semester at an academic program.

Toys are just part of what the Somerville Public Library has to offer.  We hope you’ll find out what else we have in our collection!
