arts 'n' crafts for kids
7 Answers
Our daughter, who is 3 1/2, loves (like most children) drawing, painting, gummed shapes etc. We do lots of stuff at home but I have looked in the local phone directory and the net but can't find any art clubs/groups for pre-school children. We live in the Beds/Herts/Bucks area. Any ideas please?

They also usually have a community notice board with info on local classes and clubs The website also has info on http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk
I think I'll have to empty the contents of the boot before I go!! I could spend hours roaming around shops like that. We want to put together a big box of arty-craft bit 'n' bobs for our girls, especially for those rainy days. I must be mad - the other day I had to hang the washing out after my daughter had been face-painting me as a cat!! I felt a bit of pr*t but it was good fun!
In my area there are a number of free magazines which carry this kind of information; you could look in your local library/sports centre/playgroup/shopping centre to see if they have a distribution point for similar magazines local to you. One of these mags has a website, I think it is www.familiesmagazines.com; another website, netmums.com is also very good with this sort of info.
