Mums and Bubs at Castle Mall

A Special Space for Little Explorers and Their Mums

Our free fortnightly Mums and Bubs sessions offer the perfect blend of sensory play and social connection in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It’s a wonderful opportunity for your little one to explore, learn and play whilst you enjoy some well-deserved downtime, a delicious coffee, and the chance to connect with other local parents in our vibrant Castle Hill community. Drop in, next to the playground, every other Wednesday from 10am, starting 16 July.

Sensory Play That Sparks Development

Each session is thoughtfully designed around messy and sensory play activities that stimulate your young child’s five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. From birth through to early childhood, children naturally use their senses to explore and make sense of the world around them, touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving, and hearing their way to understanding.

Our sensory play stations might include textured play dough for little fingers to squish and mould, water play with floating toys and pouring cups, musical instruments to create joyful sounds, colourful rice or pasta for scooping and sorting, and safe taste-testing opportunities with different flavours and textures. These activities aren’t just fun, they’re crucial for brain development, helping to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways whilst supporting cognitive growth, problem-solving skills, language development, and social skills.
