Market Explorers Garden
30 & 31 October
SIMPLE ACTIVITIES TO KEEP YOUR KIDS ENTERTAINED AT HALF TERM
On Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st October we’ll be hosting a series of fun, inspiring activities designed to get primary-age children thinking about the food they eat. Located in a dedicated space within the Market, the activities are free of charge and no bookings are required, but kids must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.
HALLOWEEN BISCUIT DECORATING
To mark Halloween, participants will have the chance to decorate some suitably ghoulish biscuits.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Get your hands on a range of fresh produce items hidden in a series of boxes, with the aim of identifying them through touch and smell alone. The difficulty of the challenge will vary with age, ranging from everyday produce to some of the Market’s more unusual offerings.
ARTS AND CRAFTS
Create colourful paintings using wonky fruit and veg instead of brushes! We’ll have a selection of fresh but slightly misshapen seasonal produce on hand, ready to be explored, discussed and used to apply paint to paper, resulting in all kinds of weird and wonderful shapes. We’ll then hang your paintings to dry on a magical-looking tree.
FACEPAINTING
The amazing Saskia will be offering a free, spooky-themed facepainting service. Designs are completed in a matter of minutes.
