❄️ Winter Magic Camp
This February, step into a world of Winter Magic. Our camp offers creative winter projects to brighten the colder days with colour and sparkle. From penguins and painted forests to snowflakes and snowmen, each day will be full of hands-on craft, playful techniques and creative fun.
✨ Monday – Wednesday: Winter Animals
Our first three days focus on winter creatures, using a variety of materials and techniques:
Papier mâché penguins – children will shape and sculpt using papier mâché, paint them with acrylics, then add finishing touches such as beaks and even a little hat to give each penguin personality.
Winter Bird & Birch Tree painting – using scraping and stamping paint techniques to create textured effects, children will bring colourful birds to life against snowy backgrounds. This project incorporates painting, collage and fun embellishments such as pom-poms and wooden/felt snowflakes.
Cheeky penguin photoframe – children will personalise a frame with a photo of themselves, decorating it with acrylic paint, craft foam and playful embellishments.
Fluffy Arctic Fox notepad – made with soft white fur, children can personalise their fox with drawn or googly eyes and other small details to give it character.
✨ Thursday – Friday: Snowflakes & Snowmen
We finish the week with classic winter crafts, also full of texture and colour:
Snowman Canvas – a fresh snowman canvas project, painted with acrylics, with finishing touches such as pom-poms, snowflakes or a touch of glitter for extra sparkle.
Winter Pencil Case – decorated with winter patterns and sparkling details.
Clay Snowman – shaped from air-dry clay, then decorated with scarves, stick arms and other fun embellishments.
📚 Story Time & Picture Books
Each day includes a cosy story session or two with a selection of winter-themed picture books to inspire our artwork. Stories are likely to include The Snowflake by Benji Davies, The Snowman and the Snowdog by Raymond Briggs, Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner, Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, The Biggest Snowman Ever by Steven Kroll and Jeni Bassett, and Snowbirds by Kirsten Hall.
Throughout the week, children will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of materials including acrylic and gouache paints, papier mâché, collage papers, craft foam, fur, pom-poms, glitter, artificial snow, colourful/white air-dry clay, googley eyes, gems, sequins and plenty of other fun embellishments. Each day includes structured projects alongside time for children’s own creative ideas.
