Each session blends a welcoming atmosphere with storytelling and touch boxes for sensory play, helping little ones build early literacy skills while nurturing their sense of wonder for our oceans. Inspired by the name Boola Bardip, meaning ‘many stories’ in Whadjuk Nyoongar, this experience celebrates the richness of storytelling and the power of shared moments. Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers and their grown-ups.
