Kids will be able to let their imaginations run amok and have the creative freedom to express themselves through interactive story-telling and the hands-on activity.Each child will be provided with all the necessary resources and support required. We will be focusing on: The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson where "a string of paper dolls go on a fantastical adventure through the house and out into the garden. They soon escape the clutches of the toy dinosaur and the snapping jaws of the oven-glove crocodile, but then a very real pair of scissors threatens. A stunning, rhythmical story of childhood, memory and the power of imagination from the author of THE GRUFFALO, and new illustrating talent Rebecca Cobb."
