Classes for 2020
CORONA VIRUS UPDATE - No 9.30am class running at MOON LANE BOOKS on Mondays until after Easter. This way I can ensure all the equipment has been wiped and steamed between classes. Sessions will run with a maximum of 5. Please follow NHS guidelines if you are not sure if you should attend class. Take care of each other, Karen.
Classes run in themed blocks. Each week the basket content increases as does the amount of signs taught during the singing session. You do not have to do all the sessions in a block; however continuity helps the children to consolidate their learning and build on new ideas, plus they recognise familiar faces and make social bonds within the group.
Classes run for 55 minutes on Mondays at 9.30am and 11am at Moon Lane Books on Stanstead Road and from Punk me up ceramics Cafe in East Dulwich on Thursdays at 11.30am
You can block book a set of 4 for £26.00 or drop in for £8 a session if space is available, please check on the booking page to see if we have space.
We look forward to meeting you all.

As Spring begins to turn the season, there is never a better moment than to head outdoors and have a bit of nature play! This basket gives our young people a bit of an insight into the wonderful items that can be found in the garden. Plenty of scope for story telling and rustling in the bushes. or maybe you like to dig away and plant the bulbs and seeds? No live insects found intentionally in these baskets!

Rolling items create so much joy for little people, the art of rolling is a huge achievement and we happily encourage the creation of tunnels and rolling lanes in order to master the art of the roll. This basket also holds a range of sound items to shake and rattle in order to encourage fine motor and gross motor skills, plus they are really useful to burn off a bit of excess energy!
