We are very excited to be hosting Roly Poly CIC at our next online network meeting. Everyone who is curious about creative practice in early childhood is welcome!

Roly Poly is a sensory musical playscape for under-twos and their caregivers. They create gentle, responsive performance spaces where very young children and their adults can explore, play and enjoy live music together.

Get a sneak behind the scenes on Thursday 1st October.

🍥 Find out what their creative processes are
🍥 Discover approaches of attuned musicality and movement
🍥 See how relational performance work can be embedded directly into Early Years education and care

Read, watch or listen to this lovely poem created and shared by artist and musician, Natalie Willis.

At the end of each Music Garden session we are experimenting with drawing as a tool for reflection and documentation. This poem was created in response to a series of ‘magic moment’ drawings that Natalie made over a number of weeks of one family during sessions here at Magic Acorns.
