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 1 May – Public Art

Little Builders will explore sculpture and other public art on display in our city. We’ll be inspired by the public art featured in our New Towns display – from concrete hippos to Victor Pasmore’s abstract shapes. Expect sensory play and story time too!

Booking information

Little Builders is free to attend but booking is required.
