Event Details
We are running an in-person activity day in Reading for PACT adopted children aged 3-11 and parents. Our activity days are a great opportunity for parents and children to meet other adoptive families in a relaxed setting.
There will be two sessions for different age groups:
10.30am-11.30am: Musical Movement with Dan for ages 5-11 | Join us to have fun moving to some popular songs!
12.00pm-1pm: Playdoh Cafe with Dan for ages 3-8 | We’ll be getting creative in this activity using Playdoh.
Please note that parents are required to attend with their children and booking is essential. The age range is a guide to skill level so older and younger children are welcome. Birth siblings can also come along! To book, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page or email adoptionsupport@pactcharity.org. Full details and address will be provided after booking. We look forward to seeing you!
