Weekly, free, 30-minute immersive storytelling session for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 4, designed to be SEND inclusive.
Sensory Stories starts at Culture House Sunderland on Tuesday 3 November, and it's not a one-off — it runs every Tuesday through November and December. The sessions are for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 4, and they're designed to be SEND inclusive, so it's a space that works for children with additional needs as well as those without.
The idea is immersive storytelling. Instead of just sitting and listening, the stories are brought to life with sound, light, movement and imagination. The children explore new and familiar worlds alongside their grown-ups through interactive tales that engage the senses and spark curiosity. It's as much about doing and experiencing as it is about listening.
Each session lasts half an hour, and they repeat weekly across the two months. The dates are 3, 10, 17 and 24 November, then 1, 8, 15 and 22 December, all at 1:00pm. Because they're the same time every week, you can drop in for one or make a regular thing of it across the autumn and winter.
