This workshop is inspired by Jason Ford’s The Super Book for Superheroes an activity book full of ideas, drawing, colouring and activities that allows you to create your own crusaders for justice who do battle with supervillains, unravelling their crazy schemes for taking over the world.
You will create your own superhero, their sidekicks, secret hideouts, outfits and super gadgets, while also learning to draw supervillains such as the Mad Scientist, Bog Creature and Evil Robot. And there are superpowers to discover to make your own comic strip – such as invisibility, super strength, speed, flight, heat vision, teleportation and X-ray vision.
Activities include collage and drawing.
Suitable for children aged 6+. Alternative colouring and drawing activities will be provided for children aged 5 and younger.
