Using a multitude of scrap materials, children design and construct their own costumes to create any character they can conjure from their imaginations!
“I made a mask and costume so I could be a grey and white robot dog!” Finlay, Age 5

Forest Art
Children will take a trip to the forest to discover the magic of making art from natural materials.
“We found clay in the ground and made it into a squishy ball with water, I made mine like a hedgehog with sticks and a leaf” Grace, Age 4

Creative Face Painting
Children will learn to use brushes and
sponges to create their own face paint designs.
“I made myself into a rainbow unicorn!” Aoife, Age 5

Loose Parts
Children will explore a collection of carefully selected open-ended materials. During the act of arranging and rearranging the loose parts they will discover many creative possibilities.
“I liked playing with the pegs and twisty things, this one looked like a worm snaking out of a gene’s magic bottle.” Stephan, Age 8

Painting and Drawing
In this workshop children experiment with line and colour using a variety of drawing and painting mediums to produce original works of art.
“I used oil pastels and watercolour paint, my pictures
look really bright and colourful.”

Interactive Storytelling
Anything can happen in our collaborative storytelling sessions. Children use props, actions, sounds and their imagination to help build and act out an instant story.
“My rabbit wanted to go on a water slide, everyone followed me and we all made a big splashing noise!” Connor, Age 4
