Younger children come with a parent or a carer, from 4 years children can attend the class as a drop-off or with a parent or carer. They start every class with a story from a fun picture book. Some of our favorite authors at Storycraft are Julia Donaldson, Helen Stephens, Oliver Jeffers and Benji Davies, but they also like discovering new picture books so usually they'll be a mixture of stories you know and probably a few stories you don't. After the storytime the teacher will show you how to make the suggested art or craft project. The art and craft project will normally relate to the theme of the story. Every term they will have a good variety of projects, often including 2D and 3D projects, structured crafts and more freestyle experiments. Some projects are one week, others span more weeks. Every term they use a variety of artistic materials and introduce children and parents to different techniques.
