FREE Sensory Play - Arts in Ville - 26 Oct 2026

Ready to dive into a world of sensory discovery, creativity, and play? Join the team from Freedom2Function for a hands-on sensory play experience designed to support exploration, learning, and connection through fun, play-based activities. Led by a paediatric occupational therapist, this activation provides a welcoming and inclusive space where tamariki can explore a variety of sensory-rich experiences at their own pace.

With multiple sensory play stations to discover, children can squish, scoop, mix, create, and experiment while developing confidence, curiosity, and important motor skills. Whether your tamariki loves messy play, sensory exploration, or simply trying something new, there's plenty of fun to be found.

We gratefully acknowledge Rodney Local Board for their support in making this event possible.
