Bookstart Rhymetimes

Bookstart Rhymetimes are activities for babies, toddlers and their parents. They are organised locally and take place in many libraries around the country to encourage parents and carers to share rhymes and songs with babies from birth onwards.

Bookstart Rhymetimes sessions are FREE and great FUN!

They incorporate a mix of songs, rhymes, rhythm and movement, and provide the opportunity to share games, novelty books and toys.

Why sing and rhyme with your child?

Of course you can share songs and rhymes every day at home! But to find where your Bookstart Rhymetimes session is taking place, click below:
