Join us for spectacular craft activities filled with “Magic and Myths” this February half term! Celebrate this enchanting theme by transforming everyday mason jars into magical forests for goblins and fairies to call home. Get crafty with your own masks and wearable dragon wings! We’ll draw inspiration from fables of mythical beasts in our collections, including the fascinating narwhal tusks from the Collecting Coventry exhibition. Narwhals were often regarded as the unicorns of the sea and are believed to have inspired the legend of unicorns. 

Join us for a magical week of creativity and fun that your children won’t want to miss! 

Daily Activities:

Saturday 15 & Tuesday 18 February: Light Up Enchanted Jars
Make your very own enchanted jar! Fill it with soft green moss and magical sparkle dust. Cut out silhouettes of fairies or goblins to live inside, and don’t forget to add lots of glitter, buttons, and sequins! You can even make beautiful flowers from tissue paper and tie them on with yarn. To finish, light up your jar with a battery tealight for a magical glow! 

Wednesday 19 & Thursday 20 February: Mischievous Masks
Let your imagination run wild as you create your very own mask! Using bright paints and colorful fabrics, you can make anything from a playful goblin to a magical unicorn. Take your masterpiece home to wear and show off during February Half Term!  

Friday 21 & Saturday 22 February: Mythical Wings
Become your favourite mythical creature! In this exciting workshop, you’ll make your own dragon or unicorn wings using contact paper and a variety of fun decorative materials. Personalise your wings to make them truly special!
