Starcatchers’ CashBack for Young Parents programme, Play and Explore is free creative play sessions for babies aged birth to two in Fife. Delivered in partnership with Fife Gingerbread.
Every Tuesday at:
Scout Hall, Cowdenbeath
Viewfield Baptist Church, Dunfermline
Play & Explore is our weekly Fife-based group offering free creative play sessions for parents with little ones aged birth to two years old.
Play & Explore is part of a larger 3-year programme, Cashback for Young Parents, delivered in partnership with Starcatchers and Fife Gingerbread, and supported by the Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities fund.
Play & Explore takes different art forms and themes every week, inspired by what the wee ones who join us enjoy most! From messy music to a dinosaur adventure, each session is full of exciting new things for wee ones and their adults to discover together.
The programme takes place in two locations across Fife: Dunfermline and Cowdenbeath. Come along and enjoy laid-back creative play sessions delivered by early years artists exploring loads of different art forms and exciting materials for wee ones to dive into!
