Perfect for the very young, our sensory activity sessions aim to appeal to all the senses.

Try creating sensory bottles with some of nature’s nicest smells, including lavender and rosemary; make soothing sounds with a rain stick and test out your youngster’s science concepts with a spot of floating and sinking play, using materials from the natural world.

There's also our natural sensory bins, where youngsters can investigate the texture and shape of everyday natural objects. Sometimes it is the simplest natural things which make the best play!
