Go wild at the National Museum of Scotland with Wild Maths for Wee Ones as part of Maths Week Scotland. Sing, move, and have fun with numbers in a playful sensory session for under 5s.

There will be two sessions, one at 10:30am and one at 11:30am. Each session lasts approx. 45 minutes, including some free play, chat and relax time. There will be songs, rhymes, sensory activities, and lots of interaction.

If at any point during the session you need to stand up, walk around or take some time out to settle your little one, please do so. Adults are responsible for their child at all times.

Free but booking required. Tickets are per child (includes up to 2 adults per child ticket). Bookings will open here on Monday 22 September.
