How was Christmas at The Chase Market?

After the lovely time we had at The Chase Market back in November, we were thrilled to be invited back for 'Christmas at The Chase Market' on Sunday 15th December. Once again, we had a stall and hosted two Storytimes for the children.
This month, we have been visiting nurseries with our Christmas Storytime based on our music audiobook 'Christmas Magic'. We also took part in a Christmas performance at one of the nurseries, so we were super excited to bring our festive Storytime to the market.



The Chase Market was lit up, decorated and looked very festive. The Wimbledon Chase Primary School Parents Choir sang carols, there was mulled wine and lots of handmade gifts and food stalls. The atmosphere was great and by mid-morning, it was buzzing with excited children, music and wonderful food smells! We were lucky with the weather as it was beautifully sunny.
Storytime with the children was so much fun! I found a Christmas jumper with a silver snowflake on the front which was perfect, seeing as snowflakes are featured in my story! Even though there were many distractions, the children were focused on listening and enjoyed creating their Christmas drawings. I managed to get everyone, parents included, involved in singing and dancing along to the song at the end of the story. It was brilliant! Here are some photos of my Storytime...

What a great way to end what has been an amazing year of Storytimes!
Thank you once again to Lawrence, Leela, and Carlos and Merry Christmas everyone!
