May Half Term - Derbion

May Half Term

Get ready for a wonderfully delightful experience, bursting with creativity!

For just £3 per child, we’re thrilled to offer a fun-filled, spring-themed craft each day of the week.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we have in store for your little ones:

Monday: Bird Box Decorating
Start the week with a splash of creativity as your children paint and personalize their very own bird boxes. This wonderful craft not only nurtures their artistic talents but also gives them a charming piece they can hang in the garden, inviting delightful feathered friends to visit throughout the summer.

Tuesday: Kite Decorating
Let imaginations soar high on Tuesday! Children will have the opportunity to design and decorate their own colorful kites, combining art and the thrill of outdoor play. Watch as their creativity takes flight!

Wednesday: Flower Crown/Cap Decorating
On Wednesday, it’s time for transformation! Your children can channel their inner woodland fairy or festival fashionista by crafting beautiful flower crowns or stylish caps. These stunning creations are perfect for springtime photos and playful dress-up adventures!

Thursday: Bracelet Making
As the week continues, we’ll dive into the art of bracelet making. Kids will have a blast creating unique, colorful bracelets that they can wear proudly or gift to friends and family. It’s such a sweet and heartfelt way to share their creativity!

Friday: Flower Pot Decorating & Seed Planting
We’ll wrap up the week with a hands-on gardening experience. Children will get to decorate their own flower pots before planting seeds that they can take home and nurture. This keepsake will brighten their space and serve as a wonderful reminder of their crafting journey!

Join us for a week filled with laughter, learning, and a bunch of crafty fun.

We’re excited to invite you and your little ones to join us for some delightful storytelling magic on Thursday, May 29th, and Friday, May 30th. These special live storytelling sessions are absolutely FREE and will be held throughout the day, offering a fantastic opportunity for your children to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of stories.

Nestled in our cosy teddy bear picnic themed area, your child can snuggle up and enjoy a range of captivating tales. We’ll be running sessions from 10 AM to 4 PM, and during each time slot, at least two wonderful stories will be shared. Some of the beloved titles you can expect to hear include:

  • The Tiger Who Came To Tea
  • Little Bear’s Picnic
  • Teddy Bear’s Picnic
  • Elmer
  • Cat In The Hat
  • The Gruffalo

We believe in the joy of giving, and on these storytelling days, we would appreciate any optional contributions towards our charity partner for 2025, Over The Wall Camp. Every little bit helps us create more magical experiences for children in need.

Additionally, we’re proud to serve as a drop-off location for the Derby Book Festival’s Children’s Book Appeal. If you’d like to contribute, you can bring books to our Customer Service desk, conveniently located on level 1 outside Boots.
