The shopping centre has told families to get ready for a roar-some adventure as the centre is due to be transformed into a jungle wonderland next week, boasting a myriad of free crafts activities and workshops.
From Monday until Friday, May 30, between 11am and 4pm, the shopping centre invites little explorers to unleash their creativity.
The centre promises something different every day, including the creation of animal coin banks, assembling hand puppets, decorating jungle cookies, designing wind chimes, and making animal crowns.
As a cherry on top, all keepsakes that the young artists create can be taken home.
Head of marketing at atria Watford Niamh Crowley said: “We’re thrilled to bring families together this half-term and see kids channel their creative energy with some fun and interactive activities.
“It will be exciting to see the local community enjoy the crafts this half-term, create memories, engage in an array of fun activities, and head home with their very own jungle-themed craft.”
Located in Charter Place, across from Puttshack, no advanced bookings are needed to enjoy the crafting extravaganza requires; visitors can simply turn up and enjoy the activity of the day.
The five craft workshops are as follows:
Monday: Animal Coin Banks – Create animal friends that help save your pennies. Children can decorate ceramic animal coin banks using gems and paint pens – helping to save pennies for a rainy day.
Tuesday: Jungle Hand Puppets – Budding sewists will love making jungle hand puppets, with precut felt pieces and a plastic needle with wool – a great introduction to sewing and imaginative play.
Wednesday: Jungle Cookies – The perfect combination of sweet and fun, children can use animal-shaped biscuits as their canvas to create a delicious, edible masterpiece to take home.
Thursday: Wooden Wind Chimes – Children can design their own animal-sounding wind chimes using a mix of materials and decorations, ready to take home and let blow in the breeze.
Friday: King of the Jungle Crowns – Kids can decorate their own soft foam animal crowns with vibrant colours and stickers – perfect for a day of imaginative, regal play.
The craft workshops are part of atria Watford’s commitment to providing engaging, fun-filled activities that cater to the creativity and imagination of children.
Allowing children to express their creativity, these workshops aim to make this half-term a memorable one for families.
