Surprise Chef Collage Party

This party takes cut and paste to the next level! A salad of sensory play, piecing together movement, colour and texture to make a delicious collage. Using multimedia to blend a playful approach to making, this will be an ecstatic melange of creative collaboration for kids and their carers.

All materials provided including pre-cut images to play with.

For ages 3-8 years.
