It's time for those crafty kids of yours to get crafty.
The Cutty Sark in Greenwich has several arts & crafts workshops over January and February for children to get stuck into - literally.
5th January
Snug Sea Creatures
The Cutty Sark was a British clipper ship that faced all sorts of conditions such as icebergs and snow. It used to travel through them with cargoes of wool from Australia. Now you can stay warm aboard the clipper by making wooly sock puppets. The workshops are free and run at 11am-1pm & 2pm-4pm.
6th January
Winter Warmers
Keeping with the winter theme, between the time of 11am-1pm & 2pm-4pm, this free workshop is all about making warm pom-pom ear muffs.
