Mini Makers: Messy Play
Overview
Join us for a fun-filled, hands-on experience designed for children aged 1 to 5 years! Led by artist Lewis McVey, Mini Makers: Messy Play invites little ones to explore, play, and create through various child-led activities, including building and painting with cardboard, sensory play, drawing, and much 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.
