What to Expect
This engaging program invites babies up to 12 months and their carers to explore new ways to play and connect through art-themed activities. Little ones will delight in stories and songs within a colourful sensory pit designed to stimulate their senses. The experience includes hands-on sensory activities featuring a variety of textures, sounds, colours, and simple crafts that encourage early development and creativity.
Carers will also enjoy a guided tour of the Main Gallery exhibition, providing an opportunity to appreciate key artworks while bonding with their babies. This session is specially tailored to foster connection and sensory exploration in a welcoming environment.
