Kids Club - They Really Took to the Stage…

This week our young makers were well and truly treading the boards as they created their own cardboard Show Time Puppet Theatre.

From painting the theatre frames to bringing their puppets to life, everyone became the director, designer and star of their very own production. The imaginations on display were incredible, with funny voices, dramatic entrances and plenty of unexpected plot twists.

The applause didn’t stop there either… we headed outside and enjoyed a game of bowling in the sunshine before taking a well-earned bow after another fantastic Kids Club session.

Absolutely love seeing creativity take centre stage and watching confidence grow…Bravo everyone.

🌈 Lollie Stick Dolls! 🌈

Today we transformed lollie sticks, felt and colourful yarn into these fantastic little dolls! 🧶

Everyone chose their own colours, hairstyles, clothes and decorations, giving each doll a completely different personality. They’re bright, fun and wonderfully unique — just like their makers! 😊🙌

And we had a couple of baseball caps too..
Well done all

Spinning Into Creativity…

Today’s Kids Club project was making our very own Spirograph machines… and they turned out very funky and very cool.

It was brilliant watching everyone experiment with different patterns, colours and designs, with every creation being completely unique. We love projects that mix creativity with a little bit of engineering 😁

Well done everyone – another fantastic Saturday 🙌

Sun, Smiles & Finished projects..

We sun-dried the food props 🍽️ and safely delivered the last of the prop builds. 🙌

Ben finished his memorial project too. The tombstone has a clever hidden compartment on the back that holds up to 19 plaques – such a great idea.

We’ve also completed more Award Worthy Medals 🏅 and started work on a really cute kawaii-style wall art puzzle, and they are looking adorable already 🥰

Well done, everyone! You’ve all worked so hard and managed the heat.

Keep cool, stay safe in the sunshine, and have a fantastic weekend… Happy Friday!

It’s all coming together…

Today the schools came to collect their props, and it’s been brilliant seeing everything heading out ready for the big events.

We’ve still got a few things to complete today and tomorrow before our Friday 3:30pm drop-off deadline… It’s going to be busy, but I know we’ve got this. 🙌

Alongside all of that, there’s been lots of other amazing making happening in the workshop too. We’re so proud of everything everyone has been creating.

We’ve also had some bittersweet moments as we’ve said goodbye to some of our students who are moving on to college and other exciting new adventures.

Well done everyone. 😊

Today has been another busy one..

We made a start on the jungle-themed “I’m an Eleven Year Old” backdrop…

Ben continued working on his fantastic memorial display celebrating some of the actors behind iconic film characters…

Chesney and Dave have been hard at work creating more digital artwork and designs.

Here’s a little look at what we’ve been doing over the last couple of days…

🌳 A woodland-themed birthday display for a very special little one’s 2nd birthday…

🥨 An Oktoberfest-inspired Pretzel Toss game, with oversized flying pretzels…

🧻 And a Mummy Mystery Challenge, where brave explorers reach into hidden chambers to discover what’s lurking inside… if they dare!

There’s still a few things to add before they’re complete, but we’ve had great fun bringing these ideas to life 😊
