These activities below are all £10 as a first one and £8 as a second, per person.
Treasure Boxes
Paint the box with metallic acrylic paints and decorate with glitter glues and a wide array of sequins. There is a choice of 5 shapes of paper mache lidded box, approximately 8 cms diameter, 4 cms high. This is great for little ones, who love sparkly things.
Mugs
Design your mug using paints and pens for your personal cup of tea! The mugs will be dry enough to go home on the day, so you don't need to give them out later, and after 24 hours can be baked at home, at 150ºc to make it dishwasher safe.
Clip Frames
Glass painting on a clip frame, 13x18cms. Just paint a frame for your own special photo or paint a picture too. A wide range of design templates available, or make up your own.
Breakfast Bowls
Design your bowl using paints and pens. The bowls will be dry enough to go home on the day, so no trying to give them out at the school gates later. After 24 hours they can be baked at home, at 150ºc to make them dishwasher safe, for everyday use.
Soaps
A plain soap base is melted, and poured into moulds, perfume, colour, sparkles etc are added. Each person makes 2 large and 1 small soap. your house will smell wonderful after this! A small toy is embedded in one soap - can spot the horse above? From age 7, requires use of a microwave, maximum 15 children.
Puppets
Design a glove puppet using fabric paints and pens and add hair if you wish. Perhaps put on your own puppet show!
Fridge Magnets
Paint the frame then create your self portrait in polymer clay, how you think you look, or how you would like to look. This is my favourite craft and great for all ages and both boys and girls! Requires baking for 20 minutes at 130ºc .
Napkin Decoupage Mirrors
Paint a plain frame, and then apply a design from a paper napkin. Fantastic results for all ages, and looks like hand painted finish. There is a break of about 20 minutes while the paint dries, so you can plan a game, or a second activity.
Calico Bag
Paint or do napkin decoupage on this lovely calico shopper—forget about those plastic carrier bags and good for school too!
The bags are large, so extra space is needed on the table to work on them.
Glass Painting
Decorate the glass items with paints and outliners, and where necessary the paint can permanently fixed by baking at 160ºc after 24 hours. The items are a lightcatcher, sweet jar, tea light and a small vase. Choose 2 of the items shown to make one whole activity.
Pencil Cases
Calico, barrel-shaped pencil case, to design using pens and paint. Great for school as you will always recognise your own pencil case.
The following two cost a little bit more, but are worth it to make something really special.
Canvas Bag
Super strong, gusseted, canvas bag with comfortable shoulder straps, perfect for napkin decoupage decoration. These are a really good craft for adult groups too.
Save the planet-take a re-useable bag!
Tie Dye Cushions
Tie dye never goes out of fashion, and these 40cm square cushions are hugely popular. The cotton cushion cover is dyed and then a cushion inner is supplied ready to go home. Use of the hob, and the spin cycle of the washing machine is required, but not by the children. Whilst the cushion covers are in the dye and then rinsed and spun, there is a break of about 40 minutes to do your own games etc, or another craft. During the second dyeing, it is usual for the food to be served, and then the covers are untied by the children and then I iron them dry ready for the cushions to be inserted to go home.
2nd Shorter Activities
The following activities are available as a 2nd thing to do but take a bit less time.
Necklace
String a simple necklace on elastic. Each child has a bowl of beads to select from. Especially suitable for little ones.
Party Bags
(Natural Calico Bags)
These lovely reusable bags can be coloured in before or after the main activities using fabric crayons. It is best to get them ironed to fix, so that they don't smudge on the way home.
Bead Key Ring
Make a funky animal key ring using pony beads. Various designs for different skill levels. This can be a tricky so I recommend a minimum age of 7.
Clay Key Ring
Make a polymer clay model for a key ring. It will need baking in the oven for about 20 minutes at 130ºc .
Glass Painting
Just like the glass painting above but you choose only one item. The items are a vase, a tealight, a sweetjar and a light catcher.
