Penguin Books Singapore presents Roald Dahl's Propsposterous Playtime at Playeum's Children's Centre for Creativity
Сhildren can explore their favourite Roald Dahl characters and plots through crazy and creative hands-on activities and exhibits. A delightful (and delicious!) Roald Dahl extravaganza, this literary feast will capture the imagination of all children aged 3 – 12 and their parents. Come along and join in the fun!
The Children's Centre for Creativity
The new hands-on exhibition at the Children’s Centre for Creativity, ‘A World Full of Stories’, will be transformed for the day in an homage for Roald Dahl’s crazy words, characters, plots and settings. Choose your favourite character and make a puppet, add Dahl detail to the Chalk Wall, pick out Dahl’s wonderful made-up words to create your own poem, and add new mixed up words to the fun. Use favourite characters to make new stories, or enact the ones you already know and love.
Make A Giant Peach
Playeum’s geodesic dome will be transformed into James’ giant peach by sundown! Children need to get active and messy with this hands-on activity, mixing and painting the colour peach onto the dome. Then, make the insects and spider that are James’ companions, out of bamboo, cane, clay, card and paint. This is a kinesthetic, visual, large-scale art activity that will appeal to any children who like to get messy and to work on a large scale. (Aprons will be provided!)
Dress Up in the Big Friendly Giant's Clothes
Children will love this dressing up experience, where they can literally step into the shoes of the BFG!
Make Your Own Chocolate Bars & Sweets
Make your own (non-edible) chocolate bar and sweets. Recreate the memorable sweets and candies from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to take home. Featuring sweets include gob-stoppers splattered with paint, chocolate bars made of air-dried clay and then painted with mud-paint and gold (for the golden wrapper), and ‘candy’ with shiny wrappers. A truly ‘delicious’ art activity!
Make A Marvellous Medicine
Mix it, stir it and shake it all about… Concoct your own marvellous medicine with test tubes, using food dyes, sand, glue, oil and anything else you can get your hands on!
