Enjoy the bonding experience of snuggling up with a good book, hearing, seeing, feeling and smelling the different characters who tell the story. Explore our sensory activities and take home brilliant ideas to support your baby in their development.
Parents of a toddler? Our sensory storytelling classes are the perfect place to fall in love with books and reading!
Our storytelling supports the first stage of reading where toddlers gain an understanding of print awareness and the mechanics of how books work. Adventuring around our sensory activity areas gives opportunity to practice new vocabulary, discuss the story and characters and practice the beginnings of mark making in our messy play. There is plenty to keep even the most adventurous toddler busy whilst support their language and communication development, physical development, social and emotional development, and last but not least their cognitive development!”
