Overview

Play and explore this December with Mini Makers! Get creative in the colder months through an exploratory play session led by artist Lewis McVey. In these sessions, we welcome children aged 1 to 5 years with a variety of child-led activities and art-making, including building and painting with cardboard and other materials, sensory play, drawing, and more!

Your children will build their confidence, creativity, and fine motor skills while making a mess that you won’t have to clean up at the end!

It is advisable to wear suitable clothing as Mini Makers sessions will be messy. You may wish to bring a spare change of clothes. Although much care is taken to plan safe and suitable activities for your children to engage and explore independently, please remember that children must be supervised by their accompanying adults at all times and never be left alone.
