Designed for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers up to five years of age, the award-winning sessions offer an engaging combination of music, dance and creative activities to stimulate and entertain both the child and the accompanying adult who can also join.

Multi-sensory, each session is immersed in upbeat music with lots of singing, including many old favourites, that change every couple of weeks, as well as unique sensory props, such as bubble and magical coloured lights, and tactile materials for all to enjoy.

Each group starts with social time offering parental support and complimentary refreshments.

Jensen Taylor Connelly of M&D’s said: “These sessions are designed not to be viewed as a class but as a fun musical feast that will introduce young children to music to help develop their sensory capabilities and become sociable. They’re also a great opportunity for adults to gather and share stories which often helps parents and carers whether new or experienced.”

The Jiggy Wrigglers sessions, which last 45 minutes, will take place in M&D’s Party Room and include an additional 45 minute play in the soft play area. Sessions are priced at £7.95 and can be purchased from scotlandsthemepark.com

Founded in 2008 by mum of three Katie Clunn, the Jiggy Wrigglers development classes are run throughout the UK and feature the early years foundation stages of learning for teaching babies about the world around them.

M&D’s Scotland’s destination Theme Park features many attractions, including Amazonia, a tropical indoor rainforest and home to more than 60 different species, Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, Cosmic Bowl ten pin bowling and Krazy Congo Soft Play, as well a variety of thrill rides and rides suitable for all age groups, and a Game Zone arcade area. Seasonal activities are also held throughout the year.
