Suitable for Children 5 years and Over
Basic Flower Arranging is a wonderful activity for children. It teaches young children how to create beauty in their space. It also developes fine motor skills, independence and concentration. They also develop senses of smell, sight and touch.
 
At our 'Kids Half Term Halloween Workshop children will  paint their own Halloween flower pot and fill it to the brim with seasonal flowers to take home to be enjoyed by their family.
 
There is more to flower arranging than you might think:
Children learn more if they are enjoying themselves.
