Special Activities:
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 view the next upcoming pick up dates. The Sensory-Play Lending Library registration opens 2 weeks prior to the pickup day and registration closes 1 week before pickup day, making each registration open for a week.
Families keep the sensory fillers that were in the bag (e.g. rice, beans, pastas, playdough, etc.) and return the sensory tray and sensory tools to the same location on the following Friday. Recommended for children ages 2 – 6 years old. Items are cleaned and sanitized between uses.
Preregister through your KEyON account to secure your kit!
This program welcomes all families and is facilitated in English with French support available on request.
