Activities for children in London

Parents in search of activities for children to keep little ones entertained over the half-term will be pleased to hear of an initiative in London called the Imagine Children's Festival.

The event, which has been running annually for ten years, was recently praised by the Islington Tribune.

Sara Smyth wrote for the news source: "Parents stuck for ideas on how to keep the little ones entertained need look no further – Imagine's exciting programme of storytelling, music, dance, comedy, and performance, offers something for everyone."

Kids visiting the event at the Southbank Centre can try new activities like listening to book readings from leading children's authors. Polly Dunbar, an author-illustrator, will use drawing and puppetry to perform her book, penguin, while the Alana Dancing Star series will be read from by choreographer Arlene Phillips.

Children can also try value for money activities like dancing at Strictly Family Ballroom and concerts.

The whole family can try new activities at the festival between February 12th and 27th.
In addition, Henrietta Dombey, emeritus professor of literacy in primary education at the University of Brighton, last year said that a child who owns a book will get a greater benefit from it than borrowing one from a library.
