Description
What colour is blueberry? What does yellow taste like? Babies Play with Colour is designed for parents and children (3-11 months) to spend time together. It is based on play and interaction with the child’s terms. New materials are introduced by feeling, listening, smelling, and tasting. The materials used are varied, such as fabrics, feathers, and fruit purées, in different colour themes. The colour theme explored in the workshop changes every week.
The workshop lasts around 1,5 hours and includes visit in the museum exhibition.
One adult and one child share a ticket for the same price. Additional adults need to purchase tickets at the museum on arrival.
The language of the workshop is Finnish but all the workshop guides can give instructions also in English.
Paid tickets will not be exchanged or refunded. The ticket is not personal and can be given to someone else in case of an obstacle.

Experiences
”The workshop perfectly combines learning about art and playing. It was nice to get a short tour of the exhibition and discuss art in a group. A really nice shared moment with friends and children.”
Group of friends and babies
”We had fun at the workshop and I was positively surprised that it was also suitable for a four-month-old who doesn’t yet know how to sit or apply color with his hands. Especially the beginning of the workshop, when different fabrics and materials were felt, air was blown on the baby’s skin with a whistle and brushed with a feather, is very suitable even for such a little one.”
