It’s a jungle out there, so stay wild and brave!
Into the Jungle
The session begins with a guided meditation, taking participants on a sensory journey into a lively jungle filled with sounds, colours, and textures. This playful storytelling moment sets the tone for the creative process, encouraging kids to explore their imaginations and connect with the energy of the jungle as they prepare to make their own prints.
Layers and Patterns
Participants will work with gelli plates, acrylic paints, and textured materials to create layered prints inspired by jungle themes. Techniques include layering, stencilling, and experimenting with patterns to build up colourful and vibrant designs. With step-by-step guidance, kids will enjoy hands-on exploration and feel free to add their own ideas and flair to their creations.
Pack the Jungle
By the end of the workshop, each participant will have a selection of prints and a decorated tin pen holder, packed into their personalised jungle-themed gift bag. The party pack includes fun items like jungle pens and stickers, making it a perfect takeaway. After the creative session, there’s time to enjoy cake and singing for the birthday girl or boy before heading home with their colourful creations.
