Kids' Workshop: Dinosaur Craft

Worthing Museum & Art Gallery is bringing back its Dinosaur Craft workshop on Thursday 8 April, a morning of prehistoric making for young dinosaur fans. It's one of the museum's returning favourites, and this time it's aimed at the 5-7 age group. Over the course of the session, children make their own dinosaur puppets, masks, and a T. rex crafted from a milk carton, with plenty more to take home. There's a good deal of cutting, sticking and decorating involved, so it's a proper hands-on morning rather than just a demonstration.

The venue itself is an Edwardian building that houses two art galleries with exhibitions that rotate nine times a year, a sculpture garden, a studio gallery and permanent displays of an internationally renowned costume collection, fine and decorative art, toys, social history and archaeology. Its collections draw on around 55,000 years of local achievement, and the museum takes inspiration from artists like Stanley, William Holman-Hunt and Philip Jackson. Throughout the year it runs a varied programme of adult and children's activities, including sessions for under-5s and a museum mice trail, alongside a dedicated education service for schools with loan boxes covering Victorian, toys and pre-history topics. The Dinosaur Craft session sits right in that pre-history wheel.

It's a 90-minute session starting at 11:00am, and tickets start from £5.75 plus a £0.75 transaction fee. If you've got a five-to-seven-year-old who's into dinosaurs, it's a straightforward way to get them making something they can actually keep.
