About Tractor Tots
Tractor Tots is a bookable series of playful sensory singalong sessions for under-fives and their adults at the National Museum of Rural Life.
Running in blocks of three sessions, Tractor Tots offers a fun, focused experience for our younger visitors, introducing them to rural life through interactive creative play.
Each session will feature handling objects from our learning boxes, singing, storytelling, rhymes, actions and sensory play to learn all about life in the countryside.
Limited spaces
- Places are limited per block to ten children under 5 with their accompanying adults.
- Due to the interactive nature of Tractor Tots, there is a maximum ratio of two children to one adult. All adults and children must have a space booked in advance.
- Babes in arms under 6 months old attending with an older sibling do not require an additional child ticket.
