Toddlers at the Frisco Public Library now have a grocery store of their own. Tot's Town, the library's hands-on learning room for children up to age 5, has reopened with a miniature H-E-B market built into the space, and the city held a ribbon cutting to mark the refresh.
The pretend store lets children push small carts, pick out play food and ring it up at a child-height register. Photos the city shared, as described by Hoodline, show shelves of toy apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers and onions, along with cheese, milk and a jug of maple syrup. A cardboard cutout of H-E-Buddy, the grocer's mascot, greets shoppers.
Tot's Town is meant for children from birth through 5 and the adults who bring them. The library describes it as a space for active learning, with activities aimed at early reading, vocabulary, letter and number recognition and beginning science and math skills. Older children, kindergarten through fifth grade, have their own room next door, Kid's Club.
