Event Description

Arty Bookworm is a series of 8 weekly sessions for children under 5 years. They offer an excellent way to support early literacy, creativity, and social engagement, underpinned by the Early Years framework.

Each session includes themed story reading, a craft activity based on the story, and an opportunity to borrow a copy of the book for the week to enjoy at home. Children can immerse themselves in different themes, returning each week for a new story and craft activity.

This program, which supports early learning, fosters creativity, and encourages a love of books, is ideal for parents and caregivers who want to introduce children to the joy of reading and hands on activities in a fun but structured environment.

Sign up for each of the 8 free sessions that you wish to attend, running from Tuesday 11 November until Tuesday 30 December
