PlayTalkRead bus back in Paisley

The PlayTalkRead bus returns to Renfrewshire during July, encouraging families to get creative, sing songs, clap hands and tell stories.

The big purple bus will be calling at County Square in Paisley on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th July before touring Renfrewshire for a week from Monday 22nd July.

Funded by the Scottish Government, the PlayTalkRead bus travels the length and breadth of the country demonstrating the positive impact of play and introducing parents and carers to fun activities they can try at home with their child.
Linda Stevenson, Renfrewshire Council’s Childcare Information Officer said, “Often the best play ideas are simple and don’t cost a penny – a bottle can be transformed into a rocket, add some rice and it becomes a musical shaker. Kids love using their imagination!

“Admission to the bus is free for Renfrewshire families and there’s no need to book. Whenever and wherever parents and carers see the bus they can hop on board with their wee ones to discover a world of fun and engaging activities to do together”.

The PlayTalkRead bus offers parents and children the opportunity to join in with BookBug storytelling, rhymes and songs sessions with young passengers also receiving a free book or playcube to take home.
