Book a basket full of art goodies and spark your creativity. Each one is packed with materials, ideas, and sensory art prompts to help you explore the world around you in new and playful ways.
The baskets include materials and activity ideas to explore inside the gallery and outside in nature. They are designed to inspire creative conversations and make it easy for your family to have a fun day out. We’ll be on hand to help you if you get stuck, but you are welcome to do your own thing!
