Skoobmobile visit to Riverbrae

The skoobmobile is specially adapted mobile library outreach service travels to schools, nurseries and community events where children up to twelve and their families are gathered. It is equipped to promote reading and play combined, stocking a broad range of children’s books and providing flexible space to house a range of activities based around play, activity and exercise. The primary aim is to help improve children’s life chances by encouraging a lasting interest in reading, literacy, physical activity and learning; bringing the opportunities of the public library service directly to children and families where they are gathered in the community.

Can you help?

We are enhancing our Heuristic play resources and I was hoping you could put something out on the school mobile app asking parents if they have any of the following items they do not use and could donate to the nursery.

Wooden Dolly pegs

Egg cups (wooden or metal)

Wooden spoons

Curtain Rings (wooden or metal)

Leather purses/Wallets

Bath plugs with chain

Metal whisk

Bells

Metal spoons

Metal lids off jars (cooking jars etc)

Tea Strainers

Old gift boxes

Tins with lids

Kitchen roll holder

Mug tree

Wooden door knobs

Baskets (various sizes. With and without handles)

Bags (leather, material)

Ribbons and Material

Wooden Nail brushes

 

We don’t want anyone to go out and buy anything new, only if they have these items lying around not being used.

Thank you in advance
