Event Description
Learning Through Play (18 months – 5 years)
Get ready for a fun-filled, confidence boosting 5-week course where learning and play go hand in hand! Designed for young children and their parents/carers, Learning Through Play shows you how everyday play can support your child’s development in ways that feel natural, joyful and meaningful.
This course is packed with simple, low-cost play ideas using items you already have at home — yes, even a cardboard box can become a learning adventure! Through sensory play, creative games and storytelling, you’ll discover how play builds key skills, sparks curiosity and strengthens your bond with your child.
Each week explores a different theme:
Once Upon a Play – Literacy
Adventures with 2D – Early Maths
Messy-Magic-Makers – Messy Play
What’s in the Box? – Imaginative Play
Ear Hunt Explorers – Story-telling & Movement
The best part? This 5-week course is completely FREE, making it a fantastic way to get you and your little one out, learning and having fun together without spending a penny.
Come along, get playful, and see just how powerful play can be.
