In For A Penny, provides a space where you and your child can let your imaginations soar and creativity run free!
PLAY (12 months - 2 Years)
Children will squeal with delight as they make their first discoveries into the world of play based art. Through a program specifically designed to nurture their innate curiosities, children will explore the wonders of different textures, shapes and colours. Children will splash, splatter, sweep, and scrape their way through the beautiful sensory art experiences on offer. Parents or caregivers will join their child during these playful sessions to share in the wonder and joy of artistic discovery.

During this time, children can play with a range of self guided creative activities (chalk walls, crayons, felt boards, puzzles, tactile boxes, blocks etc), perfectly selected for little hands.
