Busy hands make happy hearts. 

Step into a world of imagination at Crafty Kids’ Lab – a fun-filled space bursting with hands-on activities where you can make, create and unleash your creativity! Will you make your very own bear buddy? Publish your own storybook? Or bring a winged wonder to life? Maybe all three! 

 

Bear Buddies 

Prolific textile artist Cat Rabbit leads an engaging draw-a-bear workshop, where kids can create their own unique bear and add it to the Wall of Bears!   

 

Storybook Station 

Led by Kids’ Own Publishing, this workshop lets kids write, illustrate and publish their very own story as a handcrafted eight-page booklet.  

 

Winged Wonders 

A colourful aviary awaits with award-winning children’s writer and illustrator Anna Walker, as she guides young creators to craft their very own paper bird to take home and treasure.
