I am actually kind of excited to take the girls today, i think DD1 is going to LOVE it and DD2's on the move now so i think a new space to explore will be great for her.
Hopefully they behave and enjoy themselves, i told DD1 were going back to the place with the books and she said YES PEASE... awwwww
I used to take my kids to story time at the local library. Our local primary school also had it, to coax people into going to the school of course but the kids loved it. Our library also has school holiday sessions which I've taken the kids to. They've had a snake handler, crafty stuff, drama etc over the years. The kids used to love it, it was a great way of killing a couple of hours and didn't cost a fortune.
Ours have said they don't do storytime etc over the school holidays, i wonder if they replace it with something else.. will let you all know how we go once we get back
I took DD when she was 5 months old - they had a 4 week block of one session per week. We loved it. It was taking her to that which made me think that getting her in the company of other babies was a good idea and I actually met some really lovely mums too and we have set up our own little baby group.
Anyway, it was brilliant and DD knows loads of the nursery rhymes when I sing them to her. It was good for me too, I'd forgotten loads of the ones from when I was a kid!
The girls had fun Ava loved the songs at the start but was a little less interested in the books as she just wanted the shakers back, Z was actually quite interested in the reading and exploring all the other kids.
Then they did some coloring (well we did the coloring) and Ava just wanted to cut out her dog, they got a pin to attach to it to make it's tail wag so now it's on the fridge.
I think we WILL be going back
I've been taking M to rhymetime since she was about four months old. And she's always loved it. She still loves it now. It says it for babies to 2 years old, but she loves singing and dancing so I still take her now. I haven't tried storytime. They do read a story during rhymetime but she much prefers the songs.
I use to take DS to Rhymetime last year. Our library ran one right before our playgroup session so some of the other mums also went. Eventually, we stopped going because I kept forgetting which week it was on. The library runs it fortnightly.
