Join us in fun-filled 40-minute sessions where your little one first creates a craft project which is then used in our music project of the day. Each week, we have a different theme, so our craft projects and music experiences are constantly changing!

We seriously get into our crafting, so we encourage you both wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

We also love our musical experiences, so do not be surprised if we get moving and grooving in these sessions.

Please wear clothes that do not restrict your movements or ones that are too loose or fall down your body.

Your little one will explore the fundamentals of crafting (including gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, cognitive development and sensory integration) and music (including rhythm, pitch, intonation and aural skills) each session - and they get to keep and take home each week's craft project as their session keepsake!

These sessions are created and co-led by industry experts, including our arts facilitator, Pippa, and our music facilitator, Patricia, who are dedicated to your creative learning journey and the development of your creative expression.

This is not a 'drop-and-leave' session, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, so mums, dads, grandparents and carers are all welcome!

Only 25 tickets available.

Cost: FREE, thanks to the support of Healthway and CITS! Your free ticket includes entry for carer and child, music maker/craft materials.
