Discover the Magic of Colour at STEMtots!

Join us for our brand-new STEMtots sessions, specially designed for preschool children!

These free-flow, hands-on mornings encourage young children to explore science through play. Our exciting first session is all about Colour, with open-ended activities to spark discover and wonder.

Here’s a sneak peek at what your child can explore:

  • Colour sorting fun:  Have a go at our fun way to explore colour recognition and categorisation!
  • Mixing magic with Oobleck: Get messy with this amazing sensory activity! Add colourful paints to oobleck and see what happens when colours combine.
  • Water and filter paper art: Experiment with colour as your little scientist drips water onto filter paper and watches the patterns and shades spread.
  • Beautiful butterfly paintings: Fold, paint, and reveal – a perfect introduction to symmetry and creativity.

STEMtots sessions are the perfect way to nurture curiosity and introduce early scientific thinking through messy play and discovery.

Run in blocks of six sessions during term-time, each session will revolve around a different theme. Sessions can be booked individually or as a block (with a small discount). They are free flow sessions so you can turn up at any time during the session.

Our Science Communicators will be on hand throughout each session to help you and your family explore our exhibits and get the most out of our activities.

Sessions are designed to involve parents/carers so we do ask that you stay with children. Ticket price includes one child and one adult attending each session.  Younger siblings are welcome to attend free of charge.
