Design Baby

Play with unusual and experimental materials and mix them up with your little ones! Explore the space and sensory areas. Share your experience with other families and create new connections. What does sculpture mean for babies and toddlers? Come along to this session to explore sculpture with your little ones through shape, weight, balance, space and texture. Play with trollies, push soft pom-poms through holes, build shapes and bend twisty tubes and more. Children will take the lead and make a space to create in, play in, meet in, or just be in! The session will be child-led and non-structured to allow your child to explore the space and materials freely, at their own pace. The 11:00 session is recommended for pre-walkers; the 13:00 is recommended for walkers under 3. Both sessions are designed to be inclusive of all levels and abilities, so feel free to book the session that is more suited for your child/children. This event has been created with Leap then Look. Activities were made by Leap then Look, for and with children 0-3, over a series of play sessions. Please ask any staff members for help or prompts to interact with the space!
