Mini Makers is Pitzhanger’s dedicated early years programme, designed to inspire creativity, movement, and musical exploration in children aged 0–5 and their families. Through a range of engaging, artist-led sessions, little ones can develop key skills, build confidence, and connect with others in a welcoming and playful environment.
Our programme runs bi-weekly on Fridays and offers four unique sessions:
Messy Play — explore textures, colours and materials through hands-on creative activities.
Move and Flow — a gentle movement session encouraging self-expression, coordination and mindfulness.
Circus Play — a joyful movement class blending gymnastics, simple yoga and imaginative circus-inspired play.
Music and Rhyme — an interactive session filled with songs, instruments and playful sounds to spark imagination and joy.
Each session is carefully designed and led by experienced practitioners to ensure a fun, enriching and age-appropriate experience for children and their carers. Explore our sessions below and join us for a joyful journey of discovery and creativity.
