Allaboard thePlay TalkRead bus

The PlayTalkRead bus will be in Rattray on Tuesday, July 25 and all parents and carers with children under five are invited to come on-board and get involved in free storytelling and rhythm sessions.

The bus has a range of play and activity sessions for children and their parents.

It aims to promote and raise awareness of the benefits of positive parental engagement with simple free activities and resources which parents can take home.

Activities are available on an informal drop-in basis from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm at the bus.

The Time2Play session in Rattray will be running alongside the visit from the PlayTalkRead bus.

Further details are available on the council’s website at www.pkc.gov. uk/families and from the childcare and family information Service on telephone 01738 472350 or e-mail childcare@pkc.gov.uk.
