Welcome to Sense-a-Story!
Sense-a-Story transform traditional storytelling sessions into immersive,
multi-sensory experiences for children in Aberdeen.
At Sense-a-Story, we bring stories to life using all five external senses, encouraging children to see, hear, smell, touch, and even taste the story!
Join us in a relaxed and inclusive environment where every child can explore, discover, and grow.
Multi-Sensory Classes
Our classes are designed to stimulate young minds through multi-sensory sessions that foster creativity, learning, and development.
Sight
Stimulating visuals, and colourful props, toys and puppets bring the characters and settings to life.
Touch
Children get hands-on with a variety of textures and materials, from soft fabrics and rough bark to slimy goo and sandy grains, connecting
messy play to the story!
Sound
Sound effects and musical instruments create a rich auditory landscape that immerse children in the narrative.
Smell
Carefully chosen natural scents evoke the story's environment, whether it's the fresh scent of a grassy meadow, the sweet smell of a
fruit orchard, or the comforting aroma of
freshly baked bread.
Taste
We incorporate healthy fruits and vegetables into our stories, and fun things like taste-safe “mud” and “seaweed”, offering a fun and safe way to engage your child's sense of taste.
Stories for Every Child
Our Toddler and Preschool Multi-Sensory Classes are designed to be inclusive.
Along with the spoken word, stories are signed, making them more accessible to more children
Please note: We don't teach sign. We use signing in an effort to be more inclusive, and to add an extra visual element to the story.
