Animal Kingdom Construction | February Half Term Holiday Art Club | Monday 16th February | 5 – 10 years

Animal Kingdom Construction!

Unleash your child’s inner artist with our Recycled Animal Makers workshop! This playful day invites young creators to transform everyday household recyclables and treasures from the scrapstore into amazing animal sculptures. We’ll guide them in crafting a sturdy cardboard form and then let their imaginations run wild, embellishing it with vibrant fabrics, dazzling paints, and a mountain of fascinating scrap materials.
This workshop is perfect for kids who thrive on creative freedom. With gentle guidance and a helping hand with the glue gun, we empower children to take the lead in their artistic journey, fostering their confidence and igniting their passion for building and creating. Get ready for a day of upcycling fun and fabulous animal creations!
