About the event

Drop in for some nature-themed fun, with lots for little ones to explore. There will be natural sensory items to discover, small world play, role-play, and sand and water play. We'll be using natural materials to make some festive decorations to take home.

This is a drop-in session, come when you like between 9.30 and 11.30 am. Children remain your responsibility and must be supervised by an adult at all times.
