Creative School Holiday Activities for Children & Families

As a mum, I’m always on the lookout for ways to get my kids away from screens and into something creative. Whether it’s my dog-crazy daughter dreaming up personalised pet tags or my tool thirsty son getting hands-on, I’ve seen how much pride they take in creating something with their own hands.

That’s what inspired me to create my Family-Friendly Metal Stamping Workshops. A space where kids aged 9+ and their families can try something new, get creative and take home a memory they made together.

Running during school holidays throughout the year, these workshops are the perfect activity to entertain, engage and inspire. Want to stay ahead of the crowd?

What Makes My Family Friendly Workshops Different?

These workshops aren’t just about making something - they’re about creating an experience. Here’s what sets them apart:

  • Kid-Tested & Parent-Approved: My daughter, who loves all things animal, insisted we include dog tags in the mix. My son, who enjoys working with tools, loved the idea of using real tools to form and detail the pieces. Together, they helped shape the range of items I offer!

  • Safe & Accessible: There are no sharp blades, soldering (torches and flames), or electrical tools used in these workshops. This makes them ideal for younger participants, while all the more advanced tools are reserved for my sterling silver jewellery workshops.

  • Take Home a Memory: Each participant leaves with a finished piece, a keepsake to remind them of the fun they had.

  • Inclusive for Families: Whether you’re joining as a parent-child duo, siblings or school friends, these sessions are designed to be welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

What Can You Make?

Choose from a range of creative options:

  • Rings (wrap around or cuff style)

  • Pendants

  • Cuff bracelets

  • Earrings

  • Keyrings

  • Pet name tags

My children had plenty of input here, ensuring there’s something for everyone, from animal lovers to budding jewellery designers.

Why Aluminium?

Using aluminium makes the process accessible and stress-free. It’s cost-effective, easy to work with and perfect for first-timers. There’s less pressure, more creativity and the satisfaction of leaving with a completed piece by the end of the session.
