About this Event

Sessions take place on 20 October, 10–11am and 11.15am–12.15pm.

Mini Museum Explorers is for children aged 2½ to 4 and their parents or carers. Each session uses play, making, stories and hands-on activities to introduce children to science, nature and history.

This month, we’re getting cosy as we explore hibernation. What is it, and why do some animals sleep for so long? Little explorers will uncover the secrets of the natural world through craft, counting activities and even den building, all brought to life through playful, engaging activities.

KS1 home educators are welcome at the 11.15 session. These sessions are for children attending with their carers and aren’t suitable for larger nursery groups. Dedicated group sessions can be arranged on request.

Parents/carers must stay with their children throughout the session. Younger siblings and babies are welcome, but some activities and materials may not be suitable for children under 2½ years old. Accompanying babies and younger siblings attend at their parent or carer’s own risk.
