Let’s find out about Emergency Services around the world in this session, create different flags, and play with globes and planes. We’ll learn about the different numbers, vehicles and equipment that other countries Emergency Services do and dress up in some of their uniform too. We’ll sing songs and read a story as well. 

We're big kids at heart, so let's celebrate by exploring some of our favourite toys and characters. Create a special picture, read stories, and sing your favourite childhood songs. We'll even look at some of the amazing toys in our collection here at the museum!

​​Join in the fun as we kick-start the summer holidays. In this session we’ll be highlighting the emergency services that work on the water, the RNLI and the Coastguard, finding out about the work they do. We’ll also find out about how to stay safe at the beach over the summer and what different beach flags mean. We’ll explore the vehicles the RNLI use and how to use torches to send signals. With songs and stories too.

It’s Back to School time soon and this Sensory Play is getting you ready for it! Pretend to be a teacher or a pupil at our very own sensory play school and join in with lots of other school based activities too. Following all these activities, there will be a story and lots of songs as well.

Become firefighters, make your own fire helmet and help to put out the fires with your extinguisher and hose. Create your own group work of art with wheels and paint, sing about the wheels on the fire truck, hear the sound of the fire engine and see the lights. We’ll also learn about how to stay safe when there is a fire and what number to call.

It’s Halloween at NESM Sensory Play, (we know we are bit early, but we love everything spooky). We’ll be making some peekaboo ghosts, exploring some gruesome things and playing some horrifying games. There will be some spooky songs and a terrifying tale too.

What was it like to live as a child during the Second World War? Find out through handling objects, dressing up and see what other people did to help the war effort as well. Find out about what people did in the building and why Sheffield was such an important place in Wartime.  With some time period appropriate songs and story too.

Merry Christmas Everyone! At Sensory Play we’ll be singing Christmas songs and listening to a special Christmas story. We’ll be getting messy creating tree ornaments and Christmas cards too. We’ll also be wrapping presents to put under our very own Christmas tree.
