Step into a world of imagination, movement, and sensory discovery! These specially designed workshops offer a safe, welcoming space where children with additional needs can explore and express themselves through creative play.

Each session includes a variety of stimulating, mess-free activities tailored to individual sensory preferences — from tactile art-making, gentle music, and interactive storytelling, to movement-based games like obstacle courses and animal walks. Children can also enjoy auditory experiences, such as making simple instruments and exploring different sounds and rhythms.

Our goal is to provide controlled, engaging sensory input that supports comfort, curiosity, and creativity. With a focus on each child’s unique sensitivities, the workshops encourage imaginative thinking, problem-solving, and joyful exploration — all in a calm, supportive environment.

What to Expect:

• Tactile stations with textured materials
• Movement-based play to support motor skills and regulation
• Sound and rhythm activities using simple instruments
• Opportunities for imaginative expression and social connection
• Experienced facilitators who understand sensory needs

These workshops are part of Fingal Additional Needs Respite’s commitment to supporting local families and creating inclusive, community-based experiences for children of all abilities.
