We were recently sent several of the Tinyville Town books to review. My four-year-old daughter Anna adores this series, which focuses on the different community helpers that help a town run. It’s easy to see why she enjoys the books: the text is simple and fun and the illustrations are engaging. I decided to collect some fun community helper preschool activities for Anna to enjoy.

Thanks for including our Fire Station Tour blog post.
I really like the Richard Scarry books with community helpers.
I was always surprised none of my kids ever got big into community helpers.
My Anna loved this kind of books when she was younger. What Do People Do All Day? by Richard Scarry was her favorite book for a very long time!
I need to add that one to this list! I KNEW there was a Richard Scarry book that was perfect for this topic, but I couldn’t think of it when I was writing this post. Thank you!!!
