Buds and Blooms at Morel Court Care Home at 1:45 pm:

Come along and join the fun with our Fairytale themed sessions for February. Activities will include sensory play, singing, signing, stories, craft, imaginative play, parachute games, instruments, free play, puppets and lots of topic related props. There are lots of new resources to explore and experiment with as a result of our grant from The National Lottery Fund. Buds and Blooms are small, friendly groups held in care homes in Barry on a Wednesday morning and Penarth on a Thursday afternoon. The residents love seeing us and interacting with the children and it is lovely to see the relationships that are forming between the residents, children and parents/carers. Book now to avoid disappointment as spaces will be limited to ten families per session. There will be three sessions in February as there will none over February half term. Sessions cost £2.50 for the first child and £1.25 for each additional sibling or the equivalent of £2 a session for the first child and £1.00 for each additional sibling if paid for in a block of a full month at a time.
