At this age, kids want something cool, hands-on and a bit different—and our creative parties deliver exactly that.
Designed for 10 to 12-year-olds in Hull and East Yorkshire, these parties offer the perfect mix of fun, freedom and style.
From designing tote bags and bucket hats to sculpting with silk clay or painting a bold 3D canvas, every child gets to create something that’s totally their vibe—and totally take-home-worthy.
This slime party is for the big kids who still love their gooey, glittery goodness—but with a little extra flair.
We’ll teach them to get the perfect slime texture and let them experiment with deluxe add-ins like metallics and glow-in-the-dark options. It’s laid-back, sensory fun—and yes, it’s still
very cool to love slime.
