About this event
Little Pips is our fun, imaginative monthly group for curious 2–5-year-olds and their grown-ups, held at the History Store (formerly the Museum Resource & Learning Centre) in Hereford. Each session is packed with hands-on activities, stories, play, and discovery—designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and explore the world together.
Whether your child loves to paint, build, move, or imagine, Little Pips offers a relaxed, welcoming environment to learn through play, with plenty of opportunities for grown-ups to join in too.
👶Monthly Themes:
14 April: Big things, little things!
12 May: What’s under our feet?
9 June: Creatures of the River Wye
8 September: Into the wild woods
What to Expect:
🎨 Creative Play
Each session includes open-ended, themed activities that let children explore materials, try things out, and express themselves at their own pace.
📖 Storytelling & Imaginative Play
We bring stories to life through play, props, and participation—encouraging curiosity, early literacy, and a love of stories.
🧠 Exploration & Learning
From nature to numbers, textures to tools, we explore big ideas in simple, playful ways designed for little learners.
☕ Relaxed Time for Grown-Ups
Little Pips is as much about connection as it is about creativity. Grown-ups can join in the fun, or simply enjoy the space and friendly company.
Why Little Pips?
These early years are full of questions, discoveries, and first steps. Little Pips gives children space to grow their confidence, skills, and imagination—with support from caring adults and inspired by the world around them.
All materials are provided, and each session is designed by early years specialists to be safe, fun, and developmentally appropriate.
