V&A WATERFRONT CHILDRENS ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

Kids Ahoy is a holiday programme that will run at the V&A Waterfront from 29 June to 6 July. This holiday, the focus is on edu-tainment, crafts and creativity. Different activity areas can be found at the Market on the Wharf, the Craft Market and Wellness Centre and the Two Oceans Aquarium., each featuring craft-based activities to keep little hands active. Recycled materials are incorporated, encouraging positive and practical ideas. While little hands and minds are kept busy and stimulated, parents can use the opportunity to browse. Workshops cost R100 each and range from half an hour to an hour and a half. A free Kids Ahoy cap is included.

WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE ON OFFER?

Potato Prints

This is a simple technique to stamp material and create something amazing by simply adding a playful print with ordinary baking potatoes. Kids will make their own potato stamps.

Grass Heads

Create a personalised Grass Head and watch its green hair grow! We will provide the supplies and inspiration to create a unique character. Once the hair begins to grow kids will have loads of fun trimming it and designing different looks!

Play Dough Craft

Play dough is one of the most enjoyable things to play with – soft, easy to work with, colourful and entertaining. Children will learn how to make their own play dough, colour it and create whatever they can imagine.

Mobiles

There is something so magical about mobiles – the way they balance and move as well as the colours and variety of shapes. Children will be able to create their very own mobile from a mix of recycled and crafting supplies.

Lanterns

The magical beauty of light will be the focus. Kids will make two different types of lanterns – a glass one and paper one. Let the light shine!

Cardboard Aquarium

Come and create a fantastical underwater world with a cardboard aquarium made out of recycled and craft materials. The Two Oceans Aquarium provides the perfect setting for inspiration.
