Go under the sea at Wiltshire museum and create your own octopus, make our own woven fish, and sing songs about creatures that live in the ocean. You will also get the chance to touch and hold real sea fossils!

50 minutes of stories and multi-sensory fun for families with curious minds – for children ages 2 to 5: connect to the objects around the Museum, delve into the past and have fun learning together.

Each session uses different materials, sounds and games to connect to an aspect of our collections each month. We often make something you can take home and we always have fun! Together we read a story to finish off the session. Dads, Mums and Grandparents enjoy joining in with the activities. An adult must stay for the session.
