Tiny Builders and Little Sculptors- Our families Together Continuation
Our families engaged in two regular activities, ‘Nooks’ for large-scale cardboard creations that encouraged child-led making and STEAM engagement, and Air-Dry Clay sessions that offered calming, tactile experiences. Both strands emphasised inclusion, creativity, and sensory-rich environments for children aged 0 to 5.
This project was a continuation of the Our Families Together project and focused on enhancement of creative opportunities for families especially children with SEND.

“The thing I am proudest of across the term is watching parents pick up ways to play with their children — and finding in this space a place to do the messy activities that are hard at home. So many families came back week after week. That is what Save the Children is hoping for, and it is what happened.”
— Liber, Lead Facilitator
