 The class begins with 'Hellos' followed by our Crafty Tales song…..it’s easy to pick up and you can hear it on our social media sites; if you want to practice beforehand. Then it's time for the craft activity; we make this all together, taking you through the instructions, step by step and will be there to support you and answer questions, live.

 Once you have completed your craft, it’s time for the story centred around a popular picture book. It always includes songs, games, dancing, and characters to make it fun and educational.

 Crafty Tales is aimed at 2-5 year olds but all children are welcome. It's £3.50 per child (under 2s are free when booking with a sibling).  Classes last 50 minutes.
