Drop- Off your Kids
Make your own squishy, squashy, toys and strange little creatures designed to be squeezed, stretched, punched and played with.
Using simple materials, we’ll build soft objects full of personality! Funny faces, odd shapes, and unexpected textures.
This is a drop-off workshop for kids. If you’re unsure about how drop-off works or whether it’s the right fit for your child, our education team is happy to talk it through and help: [email protected]
