Get ready to get messy and creative! Every week during term-time, the House of Manannan transforms into a playground of colour and texture for our under-5s. From squishing modelling dough to splashing finger paints, your little creator will dive into a new medium every single session.

We're turning the exhibition's big ideas like swirling colours, wild nature, and funky shapes into hands-on fun. Whether they're building with magnetic tiles or experimenting with sand, your child will lead the way in making "Big Art" every single week!

You'll start with 30 minutes of play, where your little ones explore colour and shape through sensory toys, simple games, and story time. We then move into 30 minutes of hands-on art making, followed by gentle time in the gallery to look, talk and explore together, keeping everything child-led, relaxed and fun.

This week, you're getting creative with Play-Doh to make sculptures and design your own imaginative spaces. We provide everything your little ones need to explore shape, colour, and movement in a relaxed, playful way.
