EVENTS & BIRTHDAY PARTIES...

Looking for something different for your child's party then look no further. Crafty Creatures provides stress free crafts for Events and Parties. Crafts are designed around a theme of your choice and the children get to take whatever they have made home, giving them a lasting memento of the party!

Crafty Creatures was recently at Amy's 6th birthday party. Amy decided she wanted a "rainbow" craft and said she loved Unicorns. A mixture of themes you may think but Crafty Creatures was happy to oblige, along with the slime for the end of the party. Have a look at the pictures - a great time was had by all!!

SUMMER'S HERE...

What a busy time it's been over the last few months, Crafty Creatures was asked to provide crafts for Lobley Hill Community Festival in June. A lovely day was had by all and children left with bags fulls of crafts they had made.

Gateshead Carers

In early December Crafty Creatures was luck yo take part in Gateshead Crossroads Carers Christmas Community Event. Christmas crafts to cover a wide age range were available for all to make, from spiraling snowmen to angel tree decorations. People from the local community in Highfield attended, along with schools in the area and of course carers. I was particularly excited for Crafty Creatures to take part in this event as in the past I have worked with people who have mental ill health and am aware of the work carers of all ages play in helping to keep people well, so it was lovely to be able to give something back to them.

Here is are few photos taken on the day.

BROWNIES & GUIDES CENTENARY

Last Saturday (5th September) literally thousands of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and their leaders were celebrating 100 years of the movement. Celebrations in our region were been held at Segdefield Racecourse where a whopping 1650 children attended. Crafty Creatures was lucky to be asked to provide some of the entertainment for the day. We estimate we saw at least half of the children who attended the day. So it was a rather busy day!
Children of all ages made a variety of crafts. From a Brown Owl, Caterpillar on a leaf, Magnets of Brownie & Guide Sixer Animals and to a lovely, very tactile hedgehog. Please take a look below to see just a few of the crafts that were made on the day.

OUT & ABOUT IN THE SUMMER

Over the next few months Crafty Creatures is going to be "out and about" at lots of venues across the North East. In July there will be sports crafts at Oak Leaf Sports Complex's Family Fun Day, lots of Alice in Wonderland crafts for Morpeth All saints First School's Mad Hatter's Tea Party and Summer crafts at the newly opened Sherburn Hill Sure Start Children's Centre.

PUBLIC SECTOR & CORPORATE EVENTS
Crafty Creatures provides sessions for SURESTART Children’s Centres, libraries, schools and playgroups. Activities and session themes are tailored to a specific organisation’s requirements and can be related to any topics they are focusing on at a given time.

Sessions can be booked as “one-offs” or Crafty Creatures can attend an organisation over a number of weeks to work on a specific topic with the children. Sessions are designed to promote learning in a fun, relaxed manner and can be used to reinforce a particular topic or learning plan your organisation is currently addressing.

If your organisation is planning a family fun day, corporate event or a party then Crafty Creatures is the only choice to provide fun, stress free entertainment the children will be talking about for weeks after. Whatever the children make they get to take home so will have a memory of the day for a very long time.

In addition to our Children’s Art & Craft Events Crafty Creatures is going to be Out & About at local venues over the next few months. In the February half term there’s going to be “Famous Artists” at Belmont Library, “Inventions” at Laurel Avenue Sure Start Centre, “Places We Live” at Brandon Sure Start and “Food” crafts at Coundon Library. In April there is Easter crafts at Laurel Avenue, Kelloe and Ushaw Moor Sure Start Centres and Spring crafts at Brandon, Kelloe, Ushaw Moor and Laurel Avenue Sure Start Centres.

We also have some exciting craft parties coming up and will be getting glittery at some High School Musical parties, donning crowns at a Princess party, setting sail with Adam at his Pirate party and will be getting “muddy” at our Down on the Farm party. Great fun to be had by all!!!
