Unleash your child's creativity with our Foam-tastic Tote Bag Printing workshop at Woodside Library. This fun and engaging activity invites children to design and print their own cotton tote bags using foam printmaking techniques, stencils, and fabric markers. It's a fantastic way for kids to experiment with pattern, texture, and colour while making a personal statement.
The workshop is specially designed for children aged 5 to 12, making it an ideal school holiday activity that combines art and craft with hands-on learning. Parents can relax knowing their children are in a safe, supportive environment where imagination is encouraged.
This event is a wonderful opportunity for children to develop their artistic skills and create a keepsake they can proudly use or gift.
Participants will use foam printmaking techniques to create unique designs on cotton tote bags. The session includes:
- Use of stencils and fabric markers to add detail and colour
- Guidance on experimenting with patterns and textures
- Hands-on printing experience to produce a one-of-a-kind tote bag
