Small Rooms
An empty box each and a table full of materials. Cool melt glue guns, wallpaper, floorings and all sorts of small bits to create with. These could also be vehicles, football pitches, yachts - we can let our imaginations run wild! Older children can create whole environments whilst the younger ones flourish with the creative freedom.
Best for ages 7+
We can make time to sing Happy Birthday round your cake (if you bring one) before it’s cut up to take home!

Mini Mannequins
(Or superheros, animals or footballers...)
A pile of peg dolls plus fabric, ribbon, pompoms, feathers, beads and buttons. Glue guns and wire, plus a mini fashion show if we’ve time! Un-gendered making with a focus on dexterity and creativity, plus a good splash of positive group dynamic - “I love yours, she looks beautiful…”Best for ages 7+

Tote bag heat press
Working directly onto heat transfer paper, each child can design and collage their own bag with a unique, durable design.
This exciting party is brilliant for older children - we (safely) use a heat press along with Posca pens and coloured markers to create individual art works to take home and use for years! Best for ages 8+

Wands
As many or as few as you like… Magic.
Cool melt glue guns, plasticine, wire, beads and all sorts of wrappable stuff. Great for older children who might take their time to make one beautiful wand, or younger ones who may make a collection!

Shields
We’ll cut the sturdy cardboard circles - and what happens next is up to you!
Sticky vinyl shapes, tissue paper to create 3d images, and lots of coloured tape, plus supervised cool melt glue guns to add handles. Loads of scope for the younger children to explore materials, or older ones to design and create something to be proud of.
