Welcome to these extra-special sessions of Planet Play, forming part of our Children's Festival of Fun. Planet Play offers a magical world of sensory learning, wonder and exploration, for babies and toddlers aged 0-3 years. These 45 minute sessions will encourage young children to develop and explore the world around them through song, music, movement and a truly sensory experience.
Created by our Tales from the Shed team, Planet Play has been specifically devised to encourage play and early communication development in young children. Research has shown that singing songs and rhymes on a regular basis helps to widen your child's vocabulary and listening skills which are an essential part of learning to read, write and communicate.
So join us for musical fun and games, learn lots of new songs, play with puppets, dance and enjoy time with your little one.
