The Little Feet teddies love August as it means it's time to get the paddling pools out, spread out the sand and get ready to have fun in the sun (or the rain!). Join other under-fives and their parents and carers on the Museum's front lawn to take part in multi-sensory activities inspired by the unique collection at the British Museum.
Grab a woven net and get your feet wet fishing in the paddling ponds, practice your archaeological skills excavating tactile objects in the sand and create a colourful ocean themed headdress to wear home. Take inspiration from Hokusai's Great Wave prints and add to the giant wave frieze on the wall.
Don't forget to bring your towel and picnic.
