Salt-Dough Wildlife Mosaics

About

Join us at West Blean & Thornden Woods for a spring salt-dough mosaic workshop. Make and decorate your biodegradable mosaic to take home!

Explore West Blean and Thornden Woods and take part in a spring salt-dough mosaic workshop with our Education Team. Pop along from10:30am -12pm to join us for this natural craft session.

During the session you will design and make your own wildlife-inspired mosaic using salt dough and a selection of seeds. Children will be making the salt dough as part of the mosaic workshop so you may like to bring an apron or overall to protect their clothing.

We'll provide the materials and equipment needed for all the sessions. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please note that legumes are used in this activity, so please be aware of allergens.

Timings are approximate as everyone will approach the activities at a different pace. You may find you have finished before the suggested time, especially if your children are younger. The surrounding woodland is a fantastic habitat for you to explore before and/or after the session.
