Forest Tots parent and toddler group dressed as their favorite story book characters and shared books together.

Tracey Sherwood, who organised the events, commented: “It was such a wonderful bonding experience for parents/grandparents and their children.

“We even did a story book character scavenger hunt in the woods, with a womble waiting for photos - kindly donated by the Hildreds Centre.

“Every child took home a lovely new book starting them off on a life-long love of reading.
