Event Description

Arty Bookworm is a series of 6 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.

Sign up for each of the 6 free sessions that you wish to attend, running from Monday 13 April to Monday 1 June (excluding bank holidays - Monday 4 May and Monday 25 May). Adults do not need to book.
