MORNING · CALM + CONNECT
Morning program · 8am-11am
A hands-on sensory workshop where kids + adults create their own aroma dough while exploring how touch, scent + connection can help us pause during overwhelming moments.
Families will mix, knead and personalise their dough together, choosing from child-safe, pre-diluted scent options and noticing how different sensory experiences make their bodies feel.
Children will leave feeling proud of what they created, while adults take away a simple co-regulation activity they can use at home.

HOW THE WORKSHOP FLOWS
Begin with a playful body check-in and notice how different sensory experiences feel.
Mix, knead + personalise aroma dough together, exploring colour, scent + texture.
Finish with a calming practice using the dough: squeeze, breathe, notice + release.
TAKE IT HOME
Each child will take home their personalised aroma dough and a simple “squeeze + breathe” practice families can return to when emotions feel big.
