Mythical Creatures | February Half Term Holiday Art Club | Wednesday 18th February | 5 – 10 years

Mythical Creatures Construction!

Mythical creatures are capturing children’s imaginations! This workshop invites kids to leave the real world behind and dream up their own made-up creatures. From dragons to pegasi, minotaurs to miniature caticorns, we’ll provide all the materials they need, plus guidance on building with cardboard and recycled everyday items.

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.

We’ll introduce the children to joining techniques without glue guns. Using matchsticks, straws and tape they will create vehicles for their people to travel — from boats, to rafts and buses — it will be up to them to decide what to make.

What to Wear:

We encourage participants to dress comfortably and be prepared for a bit of messiness. However, worry not, as we will provide art aprons to ensure that everyone stays clean and tidy.
