Indoor fun for under 3’s
Plenty of sensory activities such as making sensory charts and rattles. We also enjoy hand painting and we know loads of songs. Sometimes the simple things are the best like banging of pots and pans with wooden spoons!

We love arts and crafts and make a new thing every day with the children from masks and hats to lanterns and snowflakes if there is cutting and sticking then we are there!
