YOUNGSTERS at the COTN Buds toddler group in Okehampton welcomed a special guest to their Christmas party at the Inspiration Centre last Friday.

Father Christmas popped in to pay the children a visit, handing out presents and spreading Christmas cheer.

COTN Buds is a parent, baby and toddler group that operates out of the Inspiration Centre every Friday during school term time.

They offer a friendly welcome to all parents and carers of pre-school children, with a baby area, craft activities, toys for toddlers and healthy snacks.
