Dive into the fascinating world of fossils with this hands-on summer craft workshop, where children can paint their very own plaster fossil.

This creative activity offers kids the chance to bring ancient history to life by adding colour and detail to carefully crafted plaster replicas of real fossils. By the end of the session, every child will leave with a beautifully painted fossil to treasure as a special reminder of their prehistoric adventure. Perfect for young artists and future paleontologists alike!

Suitable for ages 3+. Younger children welcome but will need much more help from their grown-up.

 

This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
