I love the location in the wood with the nature.
Starcatchers delivers free creative play sessions in Fife for parents with a little one from birth to 2 years. Pop-Up Park Play sessions are currently held on a weekly basis in Cowdenbeath and are led by early years artists and musicians.
The pop-up sessions are part of Starcatchers’ Where We Are project, which aims to connect with participants in the communities where they live and is delivered in partnership with Fife Gingerbread. The content of the sessions is shaped by what interests the little ones and their grown-ups taking part, and cover many different art-forms including photography, painting, sculpture, felt making, music, creative moment and puppetry.
As well as regular sessions there are opportunities to visit and engage with cultural activities in their area. We aim to empower these young parents – boosting their confidence, forging new relationships and developing strong bonds with their babies through regular and continued contact with arts and creativity.

When: Every Tuesday at 11am
Where: Cowdenbeath (green area behind leisure centre)

Fun, creative ideas to engage little ones at home without a lot of kit, stress, nor pressure to ‘achieve’ anything.
A piece of art created by seven children aged between 4 months and 4 years with their parents is unveiled today at an exhibition in Glenrothes. The children braved windy, wet weather to create the 1.3m x 1.8m canvas outdoors in the Lochgelly Centre’s garden using paint filled eggs, paint sticks, powders, prints, collage and pendulum art.

“You seem like a friendly bunch!” said one new participant this week. It is true, we are. When new folk come along to the group we try to explain how what we do every week is different. Perhaps you’d like some examples of the kind of things we get up to? Maybe you’d like to join us? It’s free!
