It's Brilliant Babies time again at Riverside tomorrow morning ☺️

Babies will have the chance to develop hand eye co-ordination, reaching and grasping through a fun sensory shaving foam activity. 🫶

Your little one can have a lovely opportunity to learn through play and build confidence to explore new sensations. Most importantly, they can share this new experience with their adult 🧑‍🧑‍🧒
