Hansel & Gretel Storytime and Craft

Grimm & Co is hosting a Hansel & Gretel storytime and craft session on Tuesday 22 December, just a few days before Christmas. It's a morning out for children, built around one of the most famous fairy tales in the book.

The session has two halves. First comes the storytime, where the tale of the two siblings lost in the woods is read aloud. After that, the focus shifts to the craft part, where the kids get to make something inspired by the story. It's the kind of thing that works well with younger ones—they listen to the story and then spend some time working with their hands, so it's not just sitting still for an hour.

Because it's a storytime and craft session, it's designed for families to do together. If you've got little ones at home, it's a straightforward way to get them out of the house and into a creative activity during the run-up to the holidays. The story itself—two children outsmarting a witch in a house made of sweets—is a classic for a reason, and it's the kind of thing that usually lands well with kids.

It all happens at Grimm & Co in Sheffield, and it starts at 10:00 AM on Tuesday 22 December. Since it's a morning slot, it's one of those things you can fit in before the rest of the day takes over.
