Virtual Wriggle & Rhyme
Wriggle & Rhyme sessions are designed for children from birth to two years old, and guide parents through a range of movement activities that they can also use at home with their children.
Active movement provides movement experiences for younger children, to stimulate the development of their brains and bodies, and to build the foundations for pre-literacy and learning.
Our virtual sessions are an adapted version of the sessions we would normally run in the library.
Virtual Toddler Time
Toddler time is a fun-filled programme featuring stories, crafts, music and interactive fun.
It is tailored specifically for age 2-5 years and is designed to enhance social, cognitive, motor and musical skills.
Virtual Toddler Time is being held during the regular Toddler Time time slot via Facebook while we are unable to host programming within our libraries.
