FOR THE UNDER 7s:

London’s tiny tots can get messy making painting and making stop-motion animations at Shaun the Sheep Messy Time for the Very Young at the BFI. With a Shaun the Sheep inspired afternoon workshop, kids can dress up, run around and make as many things as they like, whilst learning the basics of animation and film making. Parents are welcome to sit, make and watch their kids get filthy without having to do any of the clearing up!
