Stuffy Sleepover Storytime

Stuffy Sleepover Storytime

Bring your kiddo in their PJs and their stuffy for storytime. Then, their stuffy will stay and sleepover at the bookstore! When the stuffy is picked up the next day (between 11AM and 8PM) they will have some exciting adventures to share with their kiddo.

Suggested for ages 5 to 8 – but if you think your younger child will be OK leaving a stuffy overnight, they are more than welcome. We recommend it NOT being one they may worry about. They will not be able to pick-up until the next day at 11AM at the earliest.

FREE to Attend, but please REGISTER using the link in this post.
