At Cuddly Bear, we sing songs from around the globe, play a wide variety of percussion instruments, and enjoy dancing. The children enjoy interacting with the various puppets and the musical games with the scrunchy and parachute are great fun! As well as bringing us much joy, music is so beneficial to children during early development, as it helps with language skills, motor skills, physical skills, social skills, and much more!

And even the children that have! His aim is to bring this access to as many children as possible, thus providing them with the opportunity to participate, develop and potentially progress in a range of sports.
