We have thousands of fully vetted providers all in one place. But where to start? Here’s our guide to the activities you find here.

Bond with your little one in a parent and baby class

Playgroups and parent and baby classes are an ideal way to have fun with your little one.  

You can strengthen bonds and make new friends through a range of regular activities, including singing and signing sessions, baby bounce, sensory play, storytelling and messy play.

Playing together can “create a loving connection that feeds their minds and feelings just like healthy meals build strong bones and muscles”,  says The Lego Foundation. And it’s good for us grown-ups too – giving us a huge dose of wellbeing! 

If you’re looking to boost your playful parenting use Pebble to search for parent and baby activities in your area.

Channel  your child’s creativity through arts and crafts

Young imaginations can run wild in arts and crafts classes – and there are so many activities to try. Education experts value arts and crafts for the wealth of benefits they bring, including:

• Helping children to express themselves and manage feelings

• Improving confidence and self-esteem

• Improving fine motor skills

• Increasing patience

• Aiding concentration.

So, while they’re having fun painting, sketching, sticking, sewing, cutting and  sculpting, your kids will be learning key life lessons. 

From the earliest encounters with finger paints to the creation of 3D animations, we can help you find kids arts and crafts activities in your area. 

Keep your kids fighting fit with sports

Sports are a superb way to keep the kids fit and healthy. All interests and levels can be catered for, with clubs offering favourites including football, gymnastics, cricket, rugby, athletics, martial arts and swimming. 

Playing individually or as part of a team, sports activities have countless health benefits for long-term physical and mental health. And swimming can save your child’s life.

We can help you sign your kids up to some fun sports activities in your area. 

Spur on their self-expression through drama, music and dance

If your kids love to perform, shine a spotlight on their talent with  dance, drama and music classes.

Packed with wide-reaching benefits, these performing arts  can help to develop listening and communication skills and boost self-belief and confidence.

Research shows that children who enjoy dance, drama and music are also four times more likely to be recognised for academic achievement compared with their non-performing friends.

With Pebble activities, your kids  can master a variety of musical instruments and  dance styles, hone their acting skills and learn about backstage production.

If you want to nurture your child’s self-expression we can help you look for dance, drama and music classes in your area.

Make learning fun with educational classes and holiday camps

Has your kid got a flair for languages, a love of coding or a passion for reading and storytelling? Enrol them in an educational class and help them reach their full potential.

Government research shows that “extracurricular activities give young people the confidence to interact socially with others, extend their social networks beyond existing friendship groups, and provide them with new skills and abilities”.

Whether after school, at weekends or during school holidays, we can help you find fun educational activities and adventure-packed school holiday camps in your area – freeing up time  to help you manage work and other responsibilities. 

Nurture calm and resilience with health and wellbeing classes 

Look after yourself and your little ones with pre- and post-natal health, fitness and wellbeing classes. Parenthood can sometimes feel like a whirlwind, but we can help you make time for some stillness and self-care.  

Yoga classes are a perfect way to practise mindfulness and it can help you bond with your baby, improve sleep and even aid their digestion. 

First aid training can also teach you life-saving skills and give you the confidence to deal with bumps, scratches and more serious injuries.

Relax and let Pebble help you search for health & wellbeing, yoga and first-aid classes in your area.
