LPB Parents
It's a Sizzling Hot Summer with LPB and PBS KIDS!
I know it's hot this summer, but you can help your child learn about nature and the joys of exploring the outdoors with PBS KIDS! Please encourage them to observe their natural world as they learn about the wind, mud, flowers, gardening, and all the colorful nature items around them.
Use creative hands-on STEM activities to support your child, develop fine motor skills, build vocabulary, engage in increasingly complex gross motor movements, and more. As you introduce the activities, you can feel confident that you are helping your child grow up great!
