[[Theatre for the Early Years]] or [[Early Years Theatre]] is a form of theatre specifically devised for very young audiences (0-30 months).

This practice has been introduced into South Africa by [[sensory theatre]] practitioner [[Margot Wood]] and [[Storywood Theatre Productions]], based on her work with [[Early Years Theatre]] companies Helios Theatre (Germany), Trusty Sidekick (USA) and Oily Cart (UK). In her piece ''[[See the Sea]]'', children are accompanied by at least one parent/caregiver and remain with the caregiver for the duration of the performance (approx 30-45 minutes). Performances are relaxed and intimate with small audiences. The experience is multi-sensory, interactive and exploratory. The facilitators lead the young audience through a series of sea-themed experiences, stimulating sensory perception and a sense of wonderment.
