Early Years Studio is a fun, creative, immersive experience for children aged 0-4. The sessions are designed with early years development in mind. Artists draw upon their expertise as early years facilitators and use the Kettle’s Yard ethos and collection to create sessions where babies, toddlers and their carers can experience and learn together.

How are animals adapted to the cold of winter? Why do some escape it, and are their migrations being affected by climate change? And as for the most important winter journey of all - are reindeer really the best animals to pull Santa’s sleigh? These are all questions we will be looking into in our Winter Wildlife: ZoologiCOOL livestream on Wednesday 1 December. Join us live on our YouTube channel at 7pm and put your questions to our winter wildlife experts!

This half term we will be hiding lots of sleepy sloths amongst the specimens in the Museum - can you seek them out? Pick up our sloth trail in the Museum, and look carefully to find them all. You may even spot the skeleton of a giant ground sloth on display, it was one of the largest mammals to ever walk the Earth and it's one of our largest exhibits.

This trail is running from Sat 23 Oct 2021 to Sun 14 November 2021
