SEASIDE and SUMMER Craft Club was such fun for everyone – new children making friends and gaining skills as well as lots of fantastic volunteers helping every week!

In our first session we decorated polystyrene starfish with tissue paper and pens, then later added sequins and threads for hanging. We also used seaside stencils with pastel crayons and added a watercolour wash to create incredible underwater pictures.

Father’s Day bookmarks were decorated with lots of fun stickers in week 2 before we started our sea creature modelling project. We used old bottles, balls and pipe cleaners to make the “skeleton” then got very messy with modroc which then dried and was ready for painting over the next two sessions. It was awesome seeing the models coming to life with colours, sparkles and googly eyes!

In the final two weeks we made summer-themed hands puppets – the children were so skilful with their sewing! Suncatchers looked great hanging in the trees!

Our final activity was decorating a holiday exercise book and everyone was inspired about writing stories or diaries.

A bit THANK YOU to Wellspring West Sussex for funding all the children and making Craft Club a truly inclusive group.

I’m looking forward to starting Autumn Craft Club in a few weeks.

Nature Craft Club was full of colour and creativity over 5 weeks in April and May!
In Week 1 we used magazine pictures to decorate hanging flower decorations with stickers added for 3D effects on some. We also used animal pictures on wooden coasters and used acrylic paint pens to add extra details.
Week 2 was the start of our big project – creating felt bags! The children used animal stencils and some freehand drawings to design their images for the front and back of the bags. For our second activity we used coloured foils to make ‘stained glass’ rabbits. The foils made amazing filters on the camera too. This week Biscuit got a bit too involved, climbing all over the table to inspect what everyone was doing before sitting in one of the trays!
We started week 3 by cutting out felt for the designs to go on the bags. The children were awesome having a go at sewing their pictures onto the bags which was quite tough through two layers! They then chose insect and flower stained glass pictures to colour in.
During the week Lizzie and fantastic helpers moved the children on by cutting out the rest of the designs and sewing some parts on – the children were amazed to come back in week 4 and find their images on the bags and were then able to complete them by adding their own personal touches! We also carried on colouring our nature pictures.
In our final session we made beautiful flower collages using pre-painted backgrounds and marbled papers to create petals and leaves. To give a 3D effect, the flowers were fastened with coloured split pins. We finished by decorating wooden stand up scenes of farmyards and bugs!
THANK YOU so much to all my fantastic volunteers and extra week-time helpers who have made this course such a success! All the places were funded by Wellspring West Sussex.
Looking forward to lots more fun at Seaside & Summer Craft Club starting next Saturday!

Five weeks, six children, three fantastic volunteers and loads of creativity went on at Spring Craft Club! Biscuit has loved supervising too! Thank you to Wellspring West Sussex for funding the sessions.

In week one we created Spring collages, used coloured papers and improved scissor skills. Next we wrapped string around card eggs and covered these in tin foil.

We used stencils and fabric paints in week two, designing heart shaped purses for Mother’s Day. There was quite a bit of leftover paint so this was used with spring stamps to make beautiful pictures. We finished by starting to colour the foil eggs.

In week 3 we made our Mother’s Day heart cards, decorated with stickers and sequins, we coloured pretty gift bags and threaded bracelets. Everyone took their purses home in the decorated bags!

Week 4 was an Egg-stravaganza! We coloured our foil eggs and painted plastic eggs – they all looked fabulous hanging in the apple tree.

In our final session last Saturday, the eggs were added to with stickers, sequins and googly eyes. The children then blew me away with the most wonderful ideas for their Easter baskets…feathers, pipe cleaners and pompoms were added to all the other available options on the table! We finished by decorating foam bunnies.

I’m sure everyone’s homes will look wonderful over the Easter holidays with the colourful crafts!

We’ve had a lot of festive fun at this year’s Christmas Craft Club! Ten children attended over the 5 weeks, all funded by Wellspring West Sussex

In our first week we designed placements and used stencils and pens to make them bright and colourful. It was great to see some talented drawing too. Next we covered card stars and circles with paperchain strips to make fantastic hanging wreaths.

We used lots of air dry clay and cutters to make tree decorations in week 2 and some children mixed two colours of clay to make a marbled snow effect! We also painted wooden signs and other shapes to stick on these. We finished by colouring stained glass window pictures.

In week 3 we finished our placemats and wreaths then had a great time with pipe cleaners making glittery wreaths, stars, trees and bracelets.

The clay was coloured in with acrylic markers in week 4 and the finished products looked awesome – everyone took home a bag full! We completed our wooden signs too.

In the final session we created our own baubles, colouring the outsides and adding stickers and sequins inside. We had a go at some sewing cards which were quite complicated and finished by dressing up polar bears, gingerbread men and angels.

A huge THANK YOU to my fantastic team of volunteers this term.
Looking forward to seeing everyone for more awesome art and crafts in 2026!

We had a really creative 3 weeks of Autumn Craft Club before half term and it was so lovely to reunite with friends as well as meeting new children!
In week 1 we used magazine pictures to make collages of autumn wildlife and landscapes. These took lots of patience to cut the pieces to size and stick them in the right postions! We also used stickers to make hanging wreaths and had fun with hedgehog scratch art.
It was fantastic to see plain cork leaf shaped mats come alive with colourful individual designs in week 2! We also used our sewing skills to make bat and hedgehog cushions.
The art studio was full for our Halloween week when everyone decorated leaf and pumpkin sun catchers and coloured woodland animal magnets. Spooky posters were designed with some children using the stencils and adding stickers and we finished with Halloween cards.
Thank you to my wonderful team of volunteers and to Wellspring West Sussex for funding the places.
Looking forward to Christmas Craft Club starting soon!

FLASHBACK to Seaside Craft Club in June and July…what a fun and full 5 weeks we had! It was so lovely to see the children and volunteers all making friends and chatting happily while we did all the activities. A real highlight was stroking and feeding Dusty and Dottie the lambs too!

In week 1 we created seaside mosaic pictures, made keyrings for Father’s day and started colouring stained glass window pictures.
Week 2 was our fullest afternoon with 11 children – we had to use the gazebo outside for extra table space for printing fabric mats, which were later turned into beautiful beach bags by Lizzie’s talented friend Lucy!

In week 3 we used coloured foil to make beach themed stained glass windows – there was lots of careful cutting and sticking involved to fit pieces in the right place. We continued with colouring and creating our own shrinkie pictures too.

In week 4 we wrapped lots of chunky wool round and round cardboard fish shapes to make puffy decorations. We also used paint pens for our brilliant suncatchers and did seaside scratch art.

For the final week of the term, we made sailing boats which we had lots of fun testing on the water! We then used stickers, pens and lolly sticks to make amazing pictures to hang on the wall – there were so many fabulous ideas!

A huge THANK YOU to my wonderful team of volunteers and to Wellspring West Sussex for funding places for all the children!
