If you’re looking for something a little different for your next party, event or children’s activity, Makes and Bakes NI brings creative arts, crafts and baking activities to groups across Belfast and Northern Ireland.
From colourful slime and personalised bath bombs to cupcake decorating and chocolate art, Makes and Bakes is all about giving children and adults the chance to get creative, try something new and make something they can take home and enjoy.
Whether you’re planning a children’s birthday party, school event, community activity, corporate family day or simply looking for a fun creative experience, there are plenty of Makes and Bakes workshops to choose from.
What is Makes and Bakes NI ?
Makes and Bakes provides creative arts, crafts and cookery workshops for children and adults.
The workshops can be brought directly to your venue, making them a convenient option for parties and events. Many activities can also be personalised or themed around your event, season or interests.
This means your activity doesn’t have to be a standard party package. You can create something that’s unique to your group.
Creative Makes Workshops
The Makes workshops are designed to get everyone involved in creating something for themselves.
Activities include popular favourites such as:
- Slime making
- Bath bomb making
- Candle art
- T-shirt decorating
- Arts and crafts
- Ceramic decorating
- Wooden crafts
- Fabric crafts
- Foam crafts
- Keyrings and other quick crafts
One of the best things about a creative workshop is that guests don’t simply spend an hour watching an entertainer. They get to make something themselves and take their creation home afterwards.
For children’s parties, this can also double as a fun party activity and a memorable party favour.
Slime Workshops
Slime remains one of the most popular creative activities for children. At a Makes and Bakes slime workshop, children can create their own stretchy slime and personalise it with colours, glitter and other fun additions.
The activity can also have an educational element, with children learning about the science behind making slime.
Each child gets a resealable container or bag for taking their creation home, meaning the fun doesn’t have to end when the party does.
Bath Bomb Making
For something a little more relaxing, bath bomb workshops are a great creative activity for both children and adults.
Participants can personalise their bath bombs with different colours, scents, glitter and seasonal ingredients. They can then take their creations home to use later.
Bath bomb making can also be turned into an educational activity, introducing children to concepts such as chemical reactions and aromatherapy in a fun and practical way.
Creative Bakes Workshops
If your group loves food, the Bakes workshops combine creativity with something delicious to take home.
Popular activities include:
Cupcake Decorating
Cupcake decorating is a firm favourite for children’s parties and family events. Participants can decorate cupcakes with designs based around a particular theme, character, animal or event.
The activity can be adapted to suit different occasions, making it a great choice for birthday parties, seasonal events and other celebrations.
Chocolate Art
Chocolate art gives guests the chance to create their own chocolate picture using dark, milk and white chocolate.
With different templates and designs available, participants can create everything from animals and characters to decorative patterns.
It’s a particularly fun option for older children, teenagers and adults who enjoy a creative challenge.
Cookery Workshops
Makes and Bakes also offers child-friendly cookery workshops where groups can learn useful cooking skills while creating something delicious.
These activities can be adapted to suit different groups and events, making them a fun alternative to traditional party entertainment.
Makes and Bakes NI Children’s Parties in Belfast
Planning a children’s birthday party can sometimes feel like a lot of work. You need to find a venue, organise food, keep everyone entertained and find something that will appeal to the whole group.
A creative workshop can make things much easier.
Makes and Bakes can provide the activity and materials, allowing children to get involved in a structured, hands-on experience while creating something of their own.
Whether your child wants a slime party, bath bomb party, cupcake decorating party or arts and crafts party, there are plenty of options to choose from.
And because many workshops can be personalised, you can create an activity around your child’s favourite colours, interests or party theme.
Creative Activities for Schools, Clubs and Groups
Makes and Bakes isn’t just for birthday parties.
Creative workshops can also be a great addition to schools, after-school clubs, community groups and other children’s activities.
The workshops provide an opportunity for children to work creatively, develop practical skills and enjoy an activity away from screens.
Makes and Bakes also runs regular children’s and adult art groups and after-school activities, alongside one-off workshops and events.
Makes and Bakes for Corporate and Community Events
Creative activities can also work particularly well at larger events where people can drop in and participate at their own pace.
Quick craft activities such as keyrings, magnets, decorations and other small projects can be suitable for larger groups, while longer workshops can provide a more structured activity.
This makes Makes and Bakes a flexible option for family fun days, community events, promotional events and corporate activities.
