Across the day @The_Herbert has welcomed 120 babies and toddlers to experience festive nursery rhymes with Santa Claus 🎅🏻 This builds on our regular #earlyyears programme, but most importantly offers families in Coventry a relaxed and accessible experience 1/2…

Today was the day, the most festive event of the year for our early years audience at @The_Herbert 🎅🏻 Sing-along with Santa is always a huge success. The Learning Team love it just as much as the families! #kidsinmuseums #earlyyears

The weather may be frosty, but our community garden space is full of colour. Great to have the murals created by young people aged 11-16 with street artist @katieoart in place and thank you to Coventry Men’s Shed for tending to our planting spaces @The_Herbert #TeamWilder @WKWT

We *could* share the glamorous before photos of our festive Mini Makers session @The_Herbert, but the messy aftermath is so much better! Painted toes, sparkly decorations, icing coated biscuits and so much more! Our families loved this experience today #earlyyears #kidsinmuseums
