First 5 Forever babies, books and rhymes
FreeAges 0–1Wheelchair accessible
Meet other parents and babies for a fun rhyme time session of singing, clapping and dancing. Learn songs and action rhymes to nurture your baby's pre-literacy, communication, language and social skills. Ideal for babies aged up to one year. No bookings are required, but places are limited. If the session becomes too full, we may need to close entry to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. First 5 Forever is an initiative of the Queensland Government, coordinated by State Library of Queensland and delivered in partnership with local government.
