Sensory Play Lending Library

The Play Troop / EarlyON Sensory-Play Lending Library is comprised of three main components: a sensory tray, sensory items and a variety of tools that were all thoughtfully chosen to promote exploration and purposeful play. Families have the opportunity to get creative and enjoy some sensory experiences in the comfort of their own home for one week at a time. A new sensory experience is available to borrow every other week!

Kits are available for registered families to pick up every other Friday at the South Side Community Centre at 1578 Wolfe Ave. Visit www.keyon.ca to pre-register and view the next upcoming pick up dates.
