Term 4 projects
Here's what we're making ✂️
We'll spend a couple of weeks on each project, giving kids time to experiment, learn new techniques and make something they're genuinely proud to take home.
Halloween Creations
We're kicking off with spooky season! Kids will create a handmade tic-tac-toe set, complete with little clay pumpkins and ghosts.
Papier-Mâché Piggy Banks
We'll build our own piggy banks from scratch using papier-mâché, then paint and decorate them with plenty of personality.
Vases & Forever Flowers
Design and decorate a vase, then create colourful handmade flowers to fill it.
Christmas Creations
We'll finish the year with a festive project to make, decorate and take home.
WHY CRAFT CLUB
A lovely way to wind down after school
After a full day at school, Craft Club is somewhere kids can switch off, make friends and get completely absorbed in creating something.
Projects are guided, but there’s no pressure for everyone’s work to look the same. We want kids to experiment, change their minds and discover what they love making.
🌈 Creativity without pressure
There’s no “right” way to make something here. Kids are encouraged to experiment and develop their own creative style.
♡ Small & welcoming
With a maximum of 10 kids, there’s time to get to know everyone and help each child feel comfortable and included.
☺ Screen-free downtime
A couple of hours to make, chat and decompress after school.

A few things parents often ask
-
Just a water bottle and a nut-free afternoon snack. All craft materials are included in the term fee.
-
Absolutely. School pickup is available from Manly Village Public School, or you can drop your child directly at Craft & Soul.
-
Not at all! Craft Club is about experimenting, learning and enjoying making things — not creating something “perfect”. We’ll guide them through each project, but every child’s creation will be their own.
-
Our groups are deliberately small, with a maximum of 10 children. We take a gentle approach to helping everyone settle in, get to know each other and feel comfortable.
-
Craft Club is usually run by Valentina and Imogen, with other members of our lovely Craft & Soul studio team sometimes joining to lend a hand. We keep the group small so there’s plenty of support, encouragement and hands-on help when it’s needed.
