Join Heather Sargeant from Bosky Books for a free, drop-in morning of screen-free creativity that’s perfect for curious kids and fun-loving families! Using pages from the brilliantly bonkers THIS BOOK STINKS, children can doodle, draw, laugh, and dive into quirky, daft and imagination-stretching activities. Whether you’re in for five minutes or an hour, there’s no right or wrong way to join in—just plenty of chances to let loose, be silly, and get creative. It’s a perfect way to spark imagination and make some unexpected holiday memories. And why not craft a cardboard hot air balloon to take (up and) away!
Adults can enjoy reflecting on their holiday experiences so far too, with pages from the You Are Here Mindful Travel Journal to ponder.
