NURSERY rhymes and music will be the theme of a programme of summer activities on offer for children and families at the district museum.

The first activity planned at the Epping Forest District Museum in Waltham Abbey is a session where children can make a scented tea set, which will take place between 2.30pm and 4pm, when children will be taught the nursery rhyme Polly Put the Kettle On.

The activities will take place every Sunday afternoon until September 25 and are suitable for children aged six to 13.
