The Kids Book + DIY Club is a four-week immersive creative workshop where kids (ages 8-12) engage in hands-on projects inspired by The Hobbit Graphic Novel. The workshop encourages long-term goal setting, problem-solving, and teamwork while allowing kids to explore creativity through tactile activities.
Give your child a fun, hands-on learning experience where they can create, explore, and build confidence over four interactive sessions:
- Builds Social Skills – Kids collaborate, share ideas, and make friends in a creative space.
- Develops Patience & Focus – A month-long project encourages goal-setting and perseverance.
- Hands-on, Screen-Free – Engaging activities with wool, books, electronics, and upcycled materials keep kids active and curious.
- Strengthens Motor & Problem-Solving – Tactile projects enhance creativity and coordination.
- Balances Independence & Teamwork – Kids create their own projects while contributing to a shared experience.
- Inspires Future Makers – Introduces tools, materials, and ideas that spark curiosity and confidence.
This is for kids who love creating, tinkering, and storytelling—or for parents looking for a screen free activity for their kids!
