Little Legends Workshop
Esplora, in collaboration with Little Legends, is organising a series of drop-in workshops designed for families with children aged 18 months to six years.
These engaging workshops, held at the Little Esplora Science Theatre, are set to provide a multisensory experience on the wonders of nature, allowing children to explore and learn in a hands-on environment.
The first workshop, taking place on Sunday from 11am to 2pm, will revolve around the intriguing world of magnets.
One of nature’s incredible phenomena, magnets offer endless possibilities for exploration and discovery. Children will have the chance to engage in a variety of activities, including a magnet treasure hunt tuff tray, sorting magnetic and non-magnetic items, solving puzzles, enjoying sand play and expressing their artistic talents at the drawing station.

Other workshops will be held on August 26 from 1 to 4pm and on September 24 from 11am to 2pm.
