TODDLE ROUND
Location:
N/A
Area:
Falkirk Council Area
Sub Category:
Activities
Details:
Learning language needs lots of interaction.
* You've heard the saying "Kids just want to have fun" haven't you? Well at Falkirk Libraries' Toddle Round sessions your toddler does have fun.
* By the time they are about 18 months old, they no longer want to sit on Mum or Gran's knee to hear stories. When they find their feet, they want to move!
* At Toddle Round we have more active rhymes that the toddlers move and dance to, then they are happy to sit for a wee story.
* The noisy rhymes, songs and storyteling using lots of gestures and facial expressions, which toddlers experience during Toddle Round sessions, strengthens their early communication and socialisation skills.
Although free of charge, places at each session are limited. Prior booking is required, and tickets can be acquired in advance at your local library. Dates available on calendar of events.

Activities
Details:
Storytelling is a natural progression from rhythm and song, introducing the exciting world of books.
This includes pop-up, lift the flap, noisy and touch and feel books, which are all essential to the child's development. Reading to children feeds their imagination and encourages them to learn.
Libraries run Storytimes, which are ideal for children aged five years and under.
