DADS and granddads are being invited to take their little ones to a series of Saturday morning play sessions.
The free sessions will take place at Sure Start Children’s Centres across the Consett and Stanley area and are aimed at fathers and other male carers with children under five.
Sessions last from 10.30am until noon and include wriggle and giggle sessions, messy play and crafts Rachael Plews, senior family worker with Sure Start, said: "It’s a relaxed and friendly group aimed at giving dads the opportunity to spend some quality time with their children and to make use of the range of facilities and activities available at the children’s centre."
The sessions take place on Saturday, July 30 at Stanley Children’s Centre; Saturday, August 27 at Moorside Children’s Centre; Saturday, September 24 at Leadgate Children’s Centre; Saturday, October 29 at Benfieldside Children’s Centre and Saturday, November 26 at Craghead Village Hall.
