Creative Creatures Play

Join us for some animal-inspired playtime fun in our pop-up play space for winter, perfect for families.

Weave webs and build nests, dress up and camouflage yourself, jump, climb and balance and then calm down with some crafts.

Creative Creatures Play is inspired by familiar animals and some unexpected new friends – from frogs, spiders and hedgehogs to weaver birds, sea slugs and arctic foxes.

You can expect soft shapes to scramble over and build with, colours and textures to explore, and much more.

Activities include

  • Physical play – jump like a frog, charge like a rhino, climb and balance like a monkey.
  • Construction play – weave webs like a spider and nests like a weaver bird.
  • Imaginative play – dress up like snail, fox, frog, shark and more, and learn about camouflage.
  • Creative play – visit our craft area and work as a family to complete one of our changing series of craft challenges, like making a jellyfish or exploring nature rubbings.
  • Under-3s area – enjoy soft shape furniture, touch panels, and plenty of animal-inspired textures and colours to explore.

Creative Creatures Play is aimed at under-7s and includes a dedicated area for under-3s.

It offers constructive, imaginative, creative and physical play supported by parents and carers.
