Sensory Storytime & Play in Leixlip Library with Discovery Playtime

Recommended for children aged 3 to 8 years, guardians must accompany children for the duration of the event.

These sessions feature an engaging, interactive story paired with a sensory, process-art activity and a themed pop-up play area that brings the story to life.

The process-art component will focus on exploration, creativity, and sensory engagement, placing emphasis on the experience rather than the final product.

The themed pop-up play area will reinforce the story and activity themes, creating an immersive environment that supports children’s development in areas such as focus, communication, and social skills.

These sessions also encourage meaningful parent–child interaction, offering families a wonderful opportunity to enjoy quality time together.
