Child-led, parent powered, and artist facilitated creative play and storytelling sessions.
About this activity
Exciting creative play and storytelling sessions for young children (ages 0-4) and their families are coming to five libraries and four children’s centres in Leicester. These sessions will empower children through the creative process, enabling their voices to be heard in both real and imagined worlds. Join us to play, explore, create, and move with our amazing Spark artists!
