Tiny Town brings play sessions to Tilehurst – Reading Today Online

A NEW series of childrens role-playing activity events is coming to Tilehurst, Reading, with Tiny Town.

Tiny Town sees regular sessions providing dress-up and imaginative role-playing activities for young children where they can play as police officers, firefighters, doctors, and a number of other roles.

Field-related, age-appropriate toys are laid out in different sections with scene boards and props including pop-up vehicles, grocery tills, toy diggers, and a full wardrobe of costumes aimed at encouraging creativity and imagination.

There’s a separate gazebo with softer lighting and sensory toys where younger children or those with additional needs, as well as a more private space for breastfeeding.

Tiny Town also provides prompts and flash cards for parents who need a jumping off point to help interact with their childrens play.

There is also space for carers and guardians to sit and supervise, with tea and coffee on offer as well as cake and freshly-made croissants.

The sessions were set up by organiser Louisa as she struggled to find ways of entertaining her two children who were close in age.

Following the success of regular sessions at Shiplake Memorial Hall in Henley, Tiny Town Role Play is now set to begin regular sessions in Tilehurst’s St Joseph’s Church every Tuesday from July 20.

Sessions are open to babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers.
