Early Years Workshop: Beatrice the Busy Bee 6 Feb - 12 Mar 2016

Artist Paula Henihan delivers gentle, creative workshops for Ages 2-4 based on an engaging story about Beatrice the Bee and her busy bee friends.

In the workshop we meet a super hero bee called Beatrice. Her special power is pollination but there is a problem: she lost her house to a lawn mower. So what is the solution? Planting, keeping it wild, telling people the story.

Following the storytelling Paula will lead the workshop participants in an interactive making session where the children (along with their grown-up) will participate in different activity areas to make group and individual pieces full of colour inspired by Beatrice and her story.
