Herefordshire Museums & Galleries is launching two new monthly activity groups for early years children.
‘Baby Pips’ (for children aged 0-2 years) and ‘Little Pips’ (for children aged 2-4 years) will be held at the History Store (previously the Museum Learning and Resource Centre) in Friars Street, Hereford HR4 0AS. Each session will be themed and provide opportunities for children and their carers to enjoy sensory play, storytelling and fun activities and to connect, explore and learn in a warm and welcoming environment.
Four dates have been scheduled so far, as follows:
Monday 14 April
- Baby Pips – Things that make noise
- Little Pips – Big things, little things
Monday 12 May
- Baby Pips – Things that sparkle
- Little Pips – What’s under our feet?
Monday 9 June
- Baby Pips – Things that splash
- Little Pips – Creatures of the River Wye
Monday 8 September
- Baby Pips – Things that open
- Little Pips – Into the wild woods
All Baby Pips sessions will take place between 10.30am and 12 noon and Little Pips from 2-3.30 pm. The sessions cost £5 per child with their accompanying adult. Advance booking is required via the Herefordshire Museums and Galleries Facebook page.
Kate Riddington, Senior Curator at Herefordshire Museums & Galleries, said:
Baby Pips and Little Pips are designed to be fun, welcoming sessions for young children and their parents or carers. As well as enjoying time together, families will be gently introduced to ideas that help children connect with the natural world - laying the foundations for confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
