Program Description

Event Details

Come to South Side for an hour of sensory exploration! From cool textures to fun activities, kids can have a great time learning while doing what they do best: playing! The program space is set up in stations, so families can move between different activities at their own pace or just enjoy gathering around the story rug, where we have scarves and interactive story tools.

It is a casual drop-in program, so no registration is required.

Sensory-friendly tools are available, such as wobble cushions, noise-reduction headphones for babies and kids, some weighted blankets, and fidgets.
