All that glitters…

Treaure Seekers‘ Make and Take sessions came to my attention on Facebook (what would we do without Facebook?) and it looked right up Honey’s street! A cavern of buttons, sparkles, glitter and sequins where children and adults alike can create to their hearts content, using anything they fancy, what’s not to love? We’ve been spending some time in Gloucester over the summer holidays while Ace is settling in at nursery, so thought we’d give it a try.

For only £4 (including a drink), you have an hour to cut, stick, paint and sprinkle a picture frame, bag or just about anything else you can think of! After a short explanation, Honey and her friend chose pictures to embellish and set about filling their pots with all manner of twinkly treasure ready to arrange on their pages. Nothing was off limits and the staff were so kind and helpful when Honey wanted to cut pieces of beautiful ribbon off a reel.

If you’re thinking of going along, it would be a good idea to have a look at the website or Instagram page with your child before going along so they have an idea of what they want to make during their session, this will help with time management and will stop little ones feeling totally overwhelmed with choice! Honey had a great time and is already talking about her next project!

Treasure Seekers is a social enterprise that has been set up on Westgate Street in Gloucester. Its aim is to ‘support vulnerable and disadvantaged adults to help equip them to be the beat version of themselves.’ Visit their website to book your session or follow them on Instagram to have a look at whats going on in store.
