Unleash your child's imagination in this engaging art workshop where they will create fantastic beasts and creatures from simple materials. The session starts with inspiring visuals of animals, monsters, and fantasy characters to spark creativity.
Children will sketch their own unique creatures before constructing them using brown cardboard, glue sticks, and tape. After building the structure, they will add vibrant colours and details with crayons or oil pastels.
In the second half, kids will switch to air-dry clay to craft functional pencil holders inspired by their favourite animals or creatures, combining art with practical use.
This class is designed for children aged 5 to 9 and runs for five hours, from 10:00 to 15:00. It encourages hands-on creativity and fine motor skills development through cutting, assembling, and decorating.
The workshop provides all necessary materials including cardboard, glue, tape, crayons, oil pastels, and clay. Children will leave with their own imaginative creature and a personalised pencil holder.
The session is perfect for school holiday fun, offering a structured yet playful environment where kids can explore their artistic talents.
