Unleash your child's creativity this school holiday with a fun and engaging acrylic painting workshop. Kids aged 5 and above will have the chance to design their own unique creatures on wooden blocks, combining art with imaginative play.
This hands-on activity encourages children to explore different animal forms by painting various body parts on multiple wooden blocks. The blocks can then be stacked in endless combinations to create fantastical animals, sparking endless fun and creativity.
Perfect for parents looking for a creative and educational activity that keeps kids entertained and inspired during the school break.
During the workshop, children will learn basic drawing and painting techniques tailored for wooden surfaces. They will work on three wooden blocks, painting different animal body parts on all four sides of each block.
The session runs for 1.5 hours, providing ample time for kids to complete their artwork and enjoy the creative process. The workshop is suitable for children aged 5 and older, making it accessible for a wide range of school-aged kids.
Materials including wooden blocks and acrylic paints are provided, so parents don’t need to worry about bringing supplies.
