Little makers

A drop-off workshop where children design, build and take home something they made themselves.

A bright children's playroom with small white tables and chairs and wooden play kitchens

Each Saturday afternoon, a small group of children tackle a making project from start to finish: a marble run, a puppet, a cardboard city, a bird feeder.

Our facilitators help with the tricky bits but leave the ideas to the children. Parents are welcome to browse the shop or enjoy a coffee on Gloucester Road while the session runs.

How a session runs

  1. The challenge. We introduce the project and look at examples together.
  2. Design. Children sketch their own version and choose their materials.
  3. Build. Cutting, gluing, fixing and testing, with help on hand.
  4. Show and tell. Each maker presents their work to the group and to their grown-ups.

What to bring

  • Nothing: we provide aprons and all materials
  • A bag to carry the finished project home
  • Details of any allergies when you book
