About

Spark your young child’s imagination in these hands-on creative sessions inspired by the objects on display in the museum, delivered by the museum's Early Years lead. 

These Tiny Sparks sessions are the perfect way to introduce young children, age three to five, to the museum's STEM and history collections, inspiring the next generation of problem solvers and story tellers. 

In Tiny Sparks young children can explore the museum  through playing, singing, activities, stories and crafts.
