With two new sets of free materials – Beach Bags and Camp INFOhio – parents now have more fun ways to keep their children learning at home this summer. The Beach Bags for kindergarten through third grade feature stories and activities, so children can practice reading skills while learning about careers and helping the environment. The 2015 Beach Bags are:

  •  Explore the World of Work: Police Officer
  •  Explore the World of Work: President
  • Explore the World of Work: Veterinarian
  •  Where Does the Garbage Go?

Camp INFOhio is centered on topics related to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math). Kids can try their hands at everything from conducting science experiments with items they find in their kitchens to designing their own roller coasters.
