Thank you for visiting the new Just Crafty website.
We are a new up and coming business providing a wide range of arts and crafts for all ages. We have started running pre-school kid’s clubs in Poole and Bournemouth and have already organised birthday parties for several excited children. We also attend Family Fetes where we have sand art stands, which have proven very popular with children of all ages. We plan to develop lots more ideas over the next couple of months including arts and crafts for seniors and a range of activities to purchase which you can make and create at home.
Hi, we are Vicky and Mandy and we met when our children attended the same pre-school. Isabelle and Alfie enjoyed arts and craft activities together but after a while we started to realise we were spending more time setting up or CLEANING UP than we did on the activities. So after much researching we found there was little in the way of arts and craft classes for our children in the Poole or Bournemouth local area. So we decided to look into doing something ourselves and this is how the story of how Just Crafty was born.
Just Crafty Kids Club is at the heart of what we do. Currently we run clubs at Giggles in Bournemouth, Tesco, Tower Park and Dexters Sports Hall in Canford Heath, but we be expanding into other areas in time. The clubs run weekly during term times and our goal is to help toddlers and pre-school children develop their creativity in a fun and safe environment and without you having to worry about the mess it leaves behind. Through our research we became very interested in the Early Years Foundation Curriculum which involves exploring different colours, shapes and textures; so we have built our weekly kids clubs around the ethos of the Early Years Foundation Curriculum. Please take a look at our Kids Club page for further information.
Just Crafty Parties are great if you are looking for something a little different to the average party, whether you would like a craft activity to run along your party or if you want us to organise the whole thing. We have different party packages to suit different needs or budgets as well as add-ons like face painting, pamper parties or glitter tattoos to name but a few but if you have any other ideas we are always happy to try and make the day as perfect as your child is to you. We are parents ourselves and appreciate how important it is to ensure your little one has a special day. Please take a look at our Parties page for further information.
We aim to provide arts and crafts in a safe and responsible manner, all the tools and materials are age appropriate and comply with European safety guidelines, where appropriate. We provide aprons and splashsuits (for both children and adults, if you wish) to keep your washing to a minimum; although we would recommend not wearing your Sunday best. All the paints are washable, eco-friendly and non-toxic. We wouldn’t recommend eating the paint but for those children that love to explore different tastes (or colours) it’s even wheat and gluten free.
All staff are CRB/DBS checked and Paediatric First Aid trained. All venues are risk assessed and safely maintained.
We have lots in store for the future and plan to develop lots of ideas; including attending more family fetes, visiting seniors in care homes and nursing homes, after-school clubs, personalised keepsakes and home activity packs to name but a few.
