Welcome to Born to Play, a child-led, sensory playgroup in Christchurch for crawling babies to four-year-olds. Play-based learning where children lead and grown-ups slow down.

Born to Play is a child-led playgroup designed for babies on the move, toddlers and preschoolers.There are no set activities, instead children are free to explore thoughtfully prepared sensory, imaginary and active play experiences at their own pace, supported by their caregiver.

Born to Play is popping up at The Crossing for a limited time only. From February 9-13, we're bringing the magic of our much-loved playgroup into the heart of the city with three thoughtfully designed classes each day. This special pop-up is your chance to experience the very best of Born to Play - engaging, play-based, sessions that spark curiosity, connection and joy. Spaces are limited, so book your spot and join us to play.
