Wriggle & Rhyme in the Park (CB)

Wriggle & Rhyme is in the Park for the Summer!

Wriggle & Rhyme sessions are generally 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. We are however making these sessions open to older preschool children while we run the sessions outdoors.

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.
