About

Curious Crawlers is a relaxed session for pre-walking babies who are finding their own unique ways to move around (crawling/bottom shuffling/high speed rolling with confidence). 

This is an opportunity for early movers to explore their curiosity, learn songs, make new friends and explore the senses whilst discovering some of our curious museum objects.

The session will begin with some group singing, followed by unstructured exploration of the den spaces, a selection of toys and sensory experiences to explore and move between at their own pace.
