SPARKLES is a monthly playtime session for toddlers and their carers.

The faith-based group offers an hour of play, toys, crafts and instruments, along with a Bible story, and snacks for the children.

Children can have fun, and parents can meet other carers.

The group welcomes all toddlers and their grown-ups.

Sparkles is held at Wokingham’s Salvation Army Church on the second Wednesday of every month.

The next event takes place on Wednesday, March 8, at 2pm.
