An activity with Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events

Activity date: Thursday 6th August 2026

Start time: 11:00
Finish time: 15:00

Activity description

Come and get creative with clay as you make your very own minibeast! Roll, shape, and mould the clay into your favourite creepy-crawly, whether it's a ladybird, butterfly, snail, spider, or any other tiny creature that inspires you. As you create, you'll learn some fun and fascinating facts about minibeasts and discover more about the important role these little creatures play in the natural world. Once your masterpiece is complete, you can take it home to dry and paint, making it a special keepsake to enjoy long after the session. Sessions run on a drop-in basis; they are free and no booking is required. These sessions will take place indoors, in our classroom, from 11am-12pm and 2-3pm. Ask at the gatehouse for directions. Stick around in the park and complete the quiz or the younger children’s trail to learn more about minibeasts.
