Little Art Explorers – Funny Faces
Weekly term-time sessions at the House of Manannan invite under-5s to get messy and creative, exploring a new art material each time and making bold, child-led artwork inspired by colour, shape, and play.

Get ready to get messy and creative! Every week during term-time, the House of Manannan transforms into a playground of colour and texture for our under-5s. From squishing modelling dough to splashing finger paints, your little creator will dive into a new medium every single session.
We’re turning the exhibition’s big ideas like swirling colours, wild nature, and funky shapes into hands-on fun. Whether they’re building with magnetic tiles or experimenting with sand, your child will lead the way in making “Big Art” every single week!
You’ll start with 30 minutes of play, where your little ones explore colour and shape through sensory toys, simple games, and story time. We then move into 30 minutes of hands-on art making, followed by gentle time in the gallery to look, talk and explore together, keeping everything child-led, relaxed and fun.
This week your little ones will be making paper masks featuring robots, mermaids, or pirates. They will colour in their masks using colouring pens and add their own details.
We provide all materials, so children can explore colour, texture, and movement in a relaxed, child-led session.
Children will:
Choose a mask design and personalise it
Use colouring pens with control
Explore colour and simple design
Develop fine motor skills and hand strength
Express ideas through imaginative play
Feel confident showing their finished mask
Each child will create a striking, one-of-a-kind artwork to take home and be proud of.
Tickets: £5 per child
