Do you have a little inquisitive scientist, engineer or mathematician?
For two weeks SparkLab is running a special program called โLittle Sparksโ designed for curious kids under 5 years old.
What is Little Sparks?
Little Sparks are informative focus sessions at held at SparkLab at various times throughout the morning – 9.30am, 10.45am and 11.30am. These are great to engage little minds, spark curiosity and an opportunity to ask questions.
In between each focus session, children can freely engage in hands-on discovery and investigate their way through SparkLab where they will naturally talk, play, question, test, observe, imagine, wonder and learn.
Additional signage has been installed throughout SparkLab specifically for younger children and some lower interactive stations making sensory exploration easier.
Top Tips When Visiting Little Sparks
Supervise children closely as some activities require more supervision and assistance than others, depending on the height, age and ability of the participant.
Given the size of the venue and how many hands-on activities are on offer, we recommend feeding your children before entering so they have plenty of energy to explore and experiment.
