Synopsis:

Come hang out with a bunch of smiling tin soldiers, the plushest teddy bears, deft-defying airplanes, a cute choo train and many others in a colourful, wonderful, magical wonderland of toys!

Once again, the ION Art Gallery will be decked out in a mishmash of colour and excitement as you build the moment with imaginative creativity and have amazing fun!

Specially catered for children aged 4 to 8, this experiential and immersive event will kick off with a fun and engaging theatrical performance as you meet the owner of the toy store. After that, your child will participate and enjoy being a part of not one, but three fun workshops – a drama workshop where the children will learn how to use their bodies to tell stories and create different characters, an art workshop where they will learn how to make their own toy costumes, and a singing and dancing workshop where they will learn a simple song and dance piece.

And at the end, the parents will be treated to a lovely parade of marching and performing toy-children as they take you around their incredible wonderland. Last but not least, sit back, relax and be surprised as the children let their confident stars shine as they perform their song and dance number in front of a live audience of family and friends.

A Wonderland of Toys will be displayed at the ION Art Gallery from 27 May- 4 June 2017. Workshop timings are 10.00am to 12.30pm and 3.00pm to 5.30pm. Booking is required.
