Calling all makers, dreamers, and cardboard lovers! Over three playful mornings, children are invited to experience the joy of imagining, building and decorating their very own world - whether it’s a cosy cottage, epic lair, or an animal palace. ✨

Day 1 - Imagine, Sketch, Plan

Day 2 - Construction Time

Day 3 - Storytelling & Decorating

Each day includes:

a relaxed collaborative art project to settle into the morning and connect with each other
a hands-on making experience with a range of recycled + art materials
mini projects
plenty of opportunities for children to make their own choices, supporting confidence & agency
time and resources to play & recharge
a gentle wind-down activity
guided reflection at the end of the session to solidify learnings

Open-ended, child-led and deeply creative. No instructions or perfection needed, just your child’s imagination and willingness to play.

Additional Learning & Support Needs. Our programme is designed to support a wide range of learners. If your child requires extra assistance, we encourage the involvement of a parent, guardian, or support person during sessions. This ensures every child can fully benefit from the experience.

Bring snacks, a water bottle and clothes that can get creatively messy!

🚸 Ages 7-11 (the age group is an indicator more than a strict rule - please reach out if your child is keen but doesn't fall into this bracket)
