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.

This March, we’re adding an extra splash of colour! Let’s all celebrate the Festival of Colours with our South Asian community in Ealing, Mini Makers sessions will be specially themed to embrace this cultural celebration’s joy, vibrancy, and creativity. Expect bright hues, playful exploration, and opportunities for little hands to get messy! Please click here to book.

In April, we are hosting a special holiday edition of Mini Makers for children aged 6 months to 7 years, so your young school-aged children in Key Stage 1 can come and get messy, too! Please click here to book.

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.
