Crafty Kids

Best suited to 2-5 year olds, but younger children also welcome. First, we'll gather for stories and singing. No need to sit still for long though - we'll be going exploring, doing treasure hunts around the gallery, and playing creatively to help us discover the artworks on display.

At each session, your child will make something to take home, using a wide range of art materials, including ones that they may not have tried before. After the session, please enjoy the gallery at your leisure. We provide space for families to enjoy a packed lunch.

If you want a cafe, the nearest is at Gateshead Central Library, just along the street. Parent/carer reviews: A fun-filled 1 hour session led by our friendly Early Years specialist, Steph. Each session is based around a theme found in the artworks, such as colour, texture, line, and animals, which are designed for 2-5 year olds.

Discover the gallery with your little ones, and support their early development in a fun and relaxed way. In these sessions, families will discover the artworks, get creative with a range of art materials, and explore the gallery together. There will be stories, songs, and fun creative activities - all designed to actively engage pre-schoolers with the gallery.
