About this Event

Toddlers can explore architecture and the built environment through sensory play, crafts and stories.

Little Builders is the Farrell Centre’s EYFS programme for pre-school children, toddlers, and their carers. Taking place on the first Friday of the month, activities will include sensory play, arts and crafts and story time. Suitable for 7+ months/crawling stage upwards.

Enjoy a free morning of play with blocks, sensory toys and architecture books. Activities will include building towers and dens, designing green spaces and fun games to introduce ideas such as sculpture and town planning. Dip into our selection of children’s books to further explore shape, materials, maps and cities.

Little Builders is led by a member of the Farrell Centre team, but there is lots of opportunity for free play and exploration.

Friday 5 June – Bridges

We know our bridges in Tyneside! Taking inspiration from our iconic structures over the river, we’ll be building our own bridges from crates, bricks and soft-play! Test them out with cars and trains to see how they’ll hold up!

Booking information

Little Builders is free to attend but booking is required.
