Gokseong-gun's Toy Library Operation Gains Popularity

Anyone in the Local Community Can Apply to Participate in the Program

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 29th that the toy library, which opened last September, is successfully operating programs for infants and toddlers.

The programs include sensory play, art play, and cooking classes, designed in a kids cafe style that children enjoy. In particular, activities such as cookie making, tactile and powder play, and science play, which are difficult to experience at home, are receiving positive responses.

Additionally, the programs are divided into classes for ages 2-4 and 5-7, considering developmental stages, to increase children's interest. Guardians of infants and toddlers aged 2 to 7 who are members of the toy library or local residents can apply to participate in the programs.

Before the program started, Gokseong-gun conducted a survey on early childhood education needs among residents.

Most mothers and fathers who brought their children responded, "I want to come again because it operates on weekends as well."

During the program, parents gathered to chat and enjoyed a moment of relaxation after a long time. Participant A said, "The children are happy, and I can rest even for a moment, so it is a happy time for everyone."

A Gokseong-gun official said, "We plan to operate various courses so that more residents using the toy library can visit. At the end of October, we are planning a flea market to share toys that are difficult to dispose of. We hope COVID-19 ends soon so that children can enjoy the toy library more fun."
