Join us for a toe-tapping, rhythm-filled adventure!
In ‘Buster’s Beat Bash’ children will dive into the world of Buster Finds His Beat, an interactive story that comes to life with our augmented reality app. The session will begin with an engaging read-aloud of the book, followed by a creative arts and crafts workshop where kids can design and build their very own drums, just like Buster. After crafting their instruments, children will get to unleash their inner musicians, creating unique rhythms and beats. There will also be plenty of time for colouring, creating, and exploring the wonders of music in a fun and imaginative setting. It’s a hands-on experience that will leave your little ones inspired and grooving to their own beat!
