Inspired by the mystical majesty of stars, and their power to grant wishes, children will follow Perry Como’s advice and ‘catch a falling star and put it in your pocket’ saving it for a rainy day. Creating and crafting colourful puffy paper stars, beautifully decorated and filled with a secret wish, children can ensure their star never fades away by sneaking it into the wish-granting giant’s humongous coat left hanging nearby by a shy magical being.

Children will be invited into the giant’s workshop to experiment and explore tissue paper, tracing paper, paint and more than a spoonful of magic to create sparkling stars containing special wishes they hope will be granted by the gracious, gifted giant.
