Join us for Creative Kidstuff Story Time!

All winter long, Creative Kidstuff has focused on the importance of reading in a child's life. We've met with parents, educators, librarians and reading enthusiasts of ALL ages to discuss how to foster a love for reading in your child. And all of them, every single one, unanimously agree that reading aloud is one of the best starts to get children on the road to reading.

We have been so thrilled in the last year to host Story Times at all our Creative Kidstuff locations. Every Thursday at 10:00 a.m., parents, grandparents and children clamor into our book nook to play, read, craft and talk about the book of the week. No registration is needed and it's FREE……and sometimes a special friend stops by for a visit! (See photo above!)

Here are a few comments and stories about our weekly event!

“I love story time. Books are fun.” – 4 year old at St. Paul store.

“One day, Clifford stopped by our Maple Grove store to read and take pictures with all the kids. Hugs, smiles and laughter filled the store. And one little boy went chasing after Clifford and hand delivered a note that read “I love you, Clifford!””

Mary at Minneapolis remembers on little girl who was goofing on how to make a snowman. “We use strawberries for the mouth.” “Really?” “No! Just kidding!”

“The kids were wondering why Curious George had to take a “banana break” and would look all over the store for him. One little boy ran up and asked “Is George in the bathroom?” – Jenny at Maple Grove

So join us each Thursday at 10 a.m. as our delightful staff reads their favorite storybooks!
