Looking for a fun, safe, regular meet-up for parents, babies and toddlers in York? Join Tiny Diggers - a new group promoting sensory play for babies and toddlers every Monday and Friday at DIG: An Archaeological Adventure, St Saviourgate in York city centre. There are no sessions during the summer holidays.

They’ve created two sessions designed exclusively for babies and toddlers – a chance to play in a safe, tactile environment that uses textures found in archaeology to introduce touch-based play.

• Babies (pre-walking 0-2) - Mondays 9am – 10am
• Toddlers (walking/2-4) - Fridays 9am – 10am 

They’re limiting numbers in each session so that they can keep to social distancing guidelines, and will be offering free coffee and biscuits for parents and carers to enjoy as they socialise.

The group will run on a six-week cycle, with different themed content each week to introduce varied stimuli, from treasure hunts to messy play, created by the Early Years team to help develop fine motor skills and engage all the senses.
