The children start by getting "suited up" in overalls. There is then some circle time where the children introduce themselves and a treasure box is opened to find a clue to the craft activity. In the chest was some white card, and the children were told to make hand prints on them. Here is middle man eager to get his hands on some gold paint!
The prints were set aside to dry and we were given lipstick sponges to explore. Here is middle man's masterpiece.
Next the children drew round their hands onto a piece of foam. Middle man really wanted to do this by himself. Then out came the scissors which he REALLY wanted to use. I left him trying to cut up a piece of foam whilst I cut around the hand prints and foam outlines. We stuck these together and then I heard some words that would usually send shivers down my spine: glue, sparkles and glitter glue!
We attached pegs to the back, making butterfly picture holders.
The class finished with some singing and middle man left, pleased with the beautiful things he had made. "I made these for you Mummy!"
Middle man particularly enjoyed the class, but it was nice that baby man could join in too. (Siblings are at a reduced price as well.) You can go weekly or buy vouchers if you are unable to go every week. You could argue that you could make all this stuff at home. This is true. The question is how often do you do this? I know I don't do it as much as I would like, due to the mess and juggling of children. Having the activities set up for you makes it much more enjoyable.
We attended a free class for the purpose of this review, but the opinions here are my own. If you want to know more about the creation station classes click here to go to their website.
