Baby Boo is a project designed to engage with parents and very young children
My outreach session on Thursday was in the Burnley Wood Children’s Centre, Burnley. A large well equipped room opened out onto this lovely garden. It was too much to resist! It so happened that I had a lot of natural objects which fitted well in the garden context.
There was free movement from indoors to outdoors and plenty of activity at the craft table as well as lively episodes of bubble chasing outside.
We were joined on Tuesday by two visitors from Tesco bearing a very large cheque! The Boo came 2nd in the Tesco’s Bags of Help Scheme. Customers choose a local charity they would like to support by placing a blue token in the box. This windfall of £2,000 will help to keep our Baby Explorer sessions free for a while longer. Thank you Tesco Customers your support is greatly appreciated.
Baby Boo will be up for another store donation in Jack’s from the 10th June – 8th September so you can vote for us there too!
We offer a friendly and relaxing welcome to babies and toddlers aged 0-4 years with their carers, mums , dads, grandparents, child minders – all welcome, come and enjoy playing together with our selection of weird and wonderful objects.
It seems a popular way to play with the knotted beads, go for a walk while trailing them behind. They clatter and swing around and sooner or later wrap around your feet and trip you up. Quite a few children in different sessions have played in this way with the beads exploring the lively unpredictability almost as if they are being chased by them.
