Dive into a world of sensory exploration in this Little Feet session for under fives.

In an enchanting and active session, under fives and their parents and carers will embark on a journey filled with wonder and excitement. Using Museum objects as inspiration, this will be an opportunity to discover and explore different senses.

Inspired by clocks and watches in the Museum collection, you can use the percussion instruments to tap a rhythm, roll the number dice and practice counting to a beat. Explore what the different sculptures in the Museum might feel like – are they smooth like polished stone or rough like sand? Visit the aroma area and take the smell cube challenge – can you find the matching objects? Don't forget the art and craft zone where you can create your own sensory explorer panel to take home.
