We have created a series of SEMH curriculum resources about objects at Abbey House Museum and across our other museums & galleries. These activities are an opportunity for children and staff to discover how objects can be used to develop connections and grow confidence.

Our resources are designed to support your SEMH curriculum with activities which encourage the PACE approach of playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy.
