After a lot of running around brandishing her painty weapons, Bab thankfully decided against a dirty protest.
Interactive Play
My excitement about trying out a new, gallery-based activity was pretty evenly matched by a fairly strong sense of foreboding.
Soak up some culture with your under-5s with vibrant kids’ theatre, creative gallery sessions and immersive music mornings.
There seem to be surprisingly few children’s art sessions that take place in an actual gallery setting, in the presence of actual art.
Your motley crew might be bored shitless by the museum itself but these immersive playgrounds are almost guaranteed to hold their attention.
An ideal day out for tot-toting Londoners who can’t face the hordes, cost or vastness of the tourist trap that is London Zoo.
Ultimately all you’re going to do is insert a paintbrush in their fist and grit your teeth while they splash paint indiscriminately at the wall.
Celebrate summer with family-friendly festivals, seasonal kids’ shows, outdoor activities and school-holiday gallery specials.
The installation had the same effect on my self esteem as an afternoon spent in the changing rooms at H&M on Oxford Street.
This is a particularly pretty corner of London, home to tranquil woodland, lush lawns, well-kept gardens and peaceful ponds.
