KDLville at the Alpine Township branch is currently featuring a fun kitchen set.  There is a toy stove (complete with burners that light up and a microwave), lots of dishes and pots and pans, and a variety of play foods.  Little chefs can be found being creative and becoming hosts and hostesses. They sometimes offer their “home made goodies” to other patrons and it’s always fun to play along.

The KDLville area currently has dress up clothes from different cultures and professions and lots of puzzles and toys.  The smaller activities are rotated on a regular basis and the major pieces are changed every quarter.  The staff is committed to nightly cleaning of the toys and to helping kids get ready to read through creative play.  Head on over to play and learn with us!
