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.
