This event has been devised in collaboration with Play Build Play.
The session will be child-led and non-structured to allow your child to explore the space and materials freely, at their own pace.
The 11:00 session is recommended for pre-walkers; the 13:00 is recommended for walkers under 3.
Both sessions are designed to be inclusive of all levels and abilities, so feel free to book the session that is more suited for your child/children.

We welcome any parent or guardian who would like to bring their baby or toddler to the V&A. This is an opportunity to bond with your child and find out new ways of exploring and playing.
