Session Description: Bring your learners to Pickford’s’ House to go back in time and with a multi-sensory, festive time travelling experience! By contrasting past traditions with present experiences, they will playfully discover what would have been in the Pickford children’s stockings and then explore our beautifully decorated rooms, filling their own ‘stocking’ with handmade traditional Christmas crafts, making good use of their fine motor skills! Before leaving us, we will sit by our huge Christmas tree and sing traditional Christmas songs, helping to spread seasonal cheer!
