FREE Wriggle & Rhyme, Active Movement for Early Learning sessions are running throughout Southland Libraries, sessions run weekly during  the school term with a short break for holidays

Active Movement is a Sport New Zealand initiative which aims to provide positive movement experiences to stimulate development of both the brain and the body.

Libraries are working Sport Southland to provide Wriggle & Rhyme sessions across the Southland region with the focus mainly on babies from birth to two years.

Movement is a child’s first language, so it is important to provide babies with whole body movements right from birth. Parents and caregivers are invited to take part in these free weekly sessions at their local library, where they can also learn skills to put into practice at home.

While the activities are generally for babies, older pre-schoolers are also welcome to attend Wriggle & Rhyme sessions, and will benefit too.

Community libraries taking part in the Wriggle & Rhyme programme across Southland are:
