Dingwall’s little angels get the chance to take part in a colorful carnival parade

THE carnival came to Dingwall last week when children from a local nursery took part in their own parade.

This was part of an initiative to learn about other cultures and young people at the city’s Little Angels daycare.

The colorful parade outside the nursery was great fun.

A spokeswoman said: “During the week the children learned about this Spanish tradition. We all decided on a theme, then the children participated in artistic activities to make costumes and signs. They made musical instruments and we did makeup. We also changed our usual routine. menu so that their snacks and lunches are inspired by certain Spanish dishes.

“We left for our parade, just a short loop outside the nursery, dressed in costumes and with music.

“We asked parents to come and social distance along the sidewalks outside the nursery and also informed local businesses of the parade. It was so nice to do something that involved parents because we couldn’t do anything like that because of Covid. It was also nice to be able to do something for one of our collaborators, Irène Mallol, she’s Spanish and she missed being able to go back to Spain , it was his first carnival under the snow.

“The kids loved it which was the most important thing about it.”
