English term or phrase: lap sit
I'm translating a bookmark with schedules of story times for children. They also have another story time that they call lap sit which is for smaller children ages birth to 3. One is called story time. The other is called lap sit.

How can I differentiate between the two activities in Spanish.

Thanks.
