Design Baby - Drop-in

Play with experimental, open-ended materials and mix them up with your little ones! Share your experience with other families and create new connections.   

What does Architecture mean for babies and toddlers? Come along to this session to explore Architecture with your little ones through shape, space and texture. Explore textures and play with materials to make new structures and more.  

This session will be child-led and non-structured to allow your child to explore the space and materials freely, at their own pace.   

This event has been devised in collaboration with Play Build Play. 

Space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents and carers are kindly asked to stay with their children at all times.   

This event with take place in the John Lyon’s Community Gallery, Level 0 of the V&A Learning Centre.
