Brand New Little Explorer Days...back from September 

Little Explorer Days are special days for 3-5 year olds.  Each day has its own theme and includes a mix of workshops, drop ins, make and take activities, songs and time to explore the science mall.  Little Explorer Days are an ideal outing for wee ones and their families, happening every month from September 2011 - April 2012 and are great value since £7.95 gets places for a child and an accompanying adult.
