Strike contingency plans for 30th November 2011
With six school-age children between us, we completely understand the nightmare of a midweek day off school! With Glasgow schools & nurseries all off tomorrow, we’ve put in place a number of extra workshops and drop-in crafts to try and lift the burden of keeping the kids occupied. We also have a couple of cosy couches if you need to get some work done at the same time.
We will have our Loopy Lunches available tomorrow featuring the return of our much-loved ‘decorate your own gingerbread man’. We’ll also have soup, cake & hot drinks on tap all day.
11am – Messy Play (18m-5y) – £3.80 (half-price sibling discount)
Messy play is great fun! Auntie Steph will read a story (last week was Chocolate Mousse for Greedy Goose) and then guide you in a creative project aligned to the story. Our little friends can play with playdough, paint, glue, glitter and all sorts of sticky messy fun stuff, before we get cleaned up and have a drink & biscuit.
1.30-2.30pm – Clay play (2y+) – £4
Working with clay is amazing fun – why not join us and see for yourself? Working with earthenware clay, you can play about and use our tools to make pretty much anything you like! We’ll leave it to dry and fire it for you, ready for you to paint. We can talk you through pinch pots, coil pots and more techniques to get the most out of your clay.
3-4pm – Friendship bracelets (6y+) – £6
Do you remember learning how to make friendship bracelets as a kid? We remember making dozens of them, pinned to our school skirt during French class! This little workshop is suitable for 6y+ (although younger children may need a bit of assistance from a grown-up helper). Class price includes materials for during the class and three embroidery threads of your choice to take home & practice with.
In addition, all of our pottery will have 20% off usual prices. We have a range of blanks from little animals to mugs and plates with prices starting from just £5.49 – and, we’ve also just received in some blank Christmas baubles, perfect timing really!
We’ve got Christmas colouring sheets, blank letters to Santa, paper cut-out crafts and lots more – available free to anyone buying from our café. We’re ready when you are – see you tomorrow!
