'Senses and Sensations', a fun children's workshop
Happening now
At the Saint-Nicolas toy library, this workshop invites little ones to explore their five senses through play: recognising a smell, spotting the missing object, guessing a shape drawn on their hand. A gentle, playful break designed for 4-6 year-olds, to slot into a family stay in Nancy.
Playing with the five senses
The idea is simple and joyful: let children discover their five senses through a series of little games. Can you recognise the smell of a strawberry, look at a picture and spot the missing object, or guess a shape drawn on your back? At each challenge, the senses become allies… or funny traps that make you lose. With no screens and no pressure, the session relies on handling, laughter and curiosity. A lovely way to awaken the youngest while entertaining them, guided by the toy library team.
A moment designed for 4-6 year-olds
The workshop is aimed specifically at children aged 4 to 6, with games calibrated for their age: short durations, simple instructions, hands-on materials. It is a chance for parents to watch their children marvel at very simple discoveries, and for the little ones to leave proud of having 'won' with their nose or their hands. Nancy's toy libraries are known for their warm welcome and the wealth of their games: a precious address when the weather turns fickle or you are looking for a gentle activity between two visits.
