The Story Box for under 5s

Our free, weekly Story Box groups bring books to life through music, games and crafts for children under-5 and their grown-ups.

Join us in Spellow Library on Monday afternoons from 1:30pm-2:30pm, Toxteth Library on Tuesday mornings from 10:30am-11:30am, The Old Library on Thursday mornings from 10am-11am and Walton Life Rooms on Friday mornings from 10:30am-11:30am.

The Little Details:

  • The Story Box is designed for children 2-5; younger and older children are welcome to attend, but some activities may not be suitable.

  • The Story Box is currently free, thanks to the Liverpool One Foundation and the Community Foundation for Merseyside.

  • Due to this specific funding, we are unable to accommodate childminders at this time.

  • We have ample space, so please feel free to bring your pram into the room.

  • Children will need to stay with a responsible parent/carer throughout the event.

  • The Story Box is an interactive event, so we ask that children don't eat snacks until the end of the session.

  • Please do not attend if anyone in your household or bubble has Covid-19 or other illness symptoms.

  • Photographs will be taken at our events, which may be used in future promotional materials by Creative Spaces Co. and our partners. If you do not wish for your child’s photograph to be taken, please, opt out with the facilitator.

I take my little girl to The Story Box every week and she loves it. Time to sing, dance, play games, listen to stories and do crafts. Rachael is lovely and we have so much fun every week. Definitely recommend it!

If you would like to hire The Story Box for your event, play group or school, we’d love to hear from you. The Story Box costs £250 for up to two hours, with two team members and lots of high-quality resources.

 
The children thoroughly enjoyed the event. Rachael prepared such lovely activities and resources, and the children remained engaged throughout the whole session. Thank you!
