Creative Craft Classes & Workshops for Kids

We bring children ages 5–12 together through hands-on crafting and creative experiences that nurture life skills.

Where Curiosity Meets Creativity

Giggles & Glee is a creative crafting club for kids ages 5–12. Our STEAM-based activities make learning enjoyable and practical through engaging workshops, camps and enrichment sessions where cutting, building, gluing and inventing turn into real life skills. We started this because kids don't just need answers they need something to wonder about.

           Kids Create, Moms Reconnect.

The Power of 8

Eight Arms, Eight Skills

Because these eight skills are exactly what our Octopus stands for and what every child leaves with, whether they made a Robot or mess!

Confidence

Believe in their ideas and say so loud.

See How We Build This

Confidence isn't taught, it's built - one finished project, one shared idea, one "I did this" moment at a time. Kids who are used to being told what to do get to lead here instead.

Activities:

Presenting their build to the group · Choosing their own materials/colours for a project · Leading a mini "how I made this" show-and-tell.

Curiosity

Ask questions. Explore. Discover.

See How We Build This

We don't hand kids the answer instead we hand them the question and let them chase it. That "wait, what if..." moment is where real learning starts.

Activities:

Open-ended STEAM challenges with no single "right" answer · Experimenting with materials before instructions are given · Group brainstorming before every build.

Collaboration

Create and learn together.

See How We Build This

Big projects need more than one pair of hands. Kids learn to share ideas, divide tasks, and build something better together than they could alone.

Activities:

Partner and small-group builds · Passing materials and problem-solving as a team · Group mural or shared-structure projects

Resilience

Try, adapt and try again.

See How We Build This

Things fall apart, glue doesn't hold, robots don't move on the first try and that's the point. Kids practice sitting with frustration and trying again instead of giving up.

Activities:

Multi-attempt builds (Robots, Towers, Circuits) · Redesign challenges after something fails · "What would you try differently?" reflection

Empathy

Understand and appreciate others.

See How We Build This

Working alongside other kids means noticing when someone needs help, sharing credit, and celebrating someone else's idea as much as your own.


Activities:

Partner check-ins during group work · Giving feedback on a friend's project · Community-themed crafts (cards, gifts, giving projects)

Resourcefulness

Make the most of what they have.

See How We Build This

Not every problem has a store-bought solution. Kids learn to look at what's in front of them; recycled materials, spare parts, odd shapes and turn it into something that works.

Activities:

Recycled-material builds (like our Recycled Robot)!). "Fix it"challenges with limited supplies . Repurposing everyday objects into new creations.

 

Adaptability

Think differently when things change.

See How We Build This

Plans shift, instructions change mid-project, materials run out, kids learn to roll with it instead of freezing up, a skill that matters far beyond the craft table.


Activities:

Surprise "twist" challenges mid-session · Swapping roles or materials partway through a build · Themed camps where the plan evolves daily

Mindfulness

Slow down, notice and be present.

See How We Build This

In a world of constant notifications, we give kids permission to focus on one thing, for as long as it takes, without a screen pulling their attention away.

Activities:

Yoga and breathing exercises . Reflection time at the end of each session . Journaling

Why Choose Us?

Our Expertise

Sai and Snehal share a deep-rooted belief in helping children discover what they're capable of, one hands-on project at a time

Creative Foundations

We believe creativity is a foundation, not an extra something every child needs alongside reading and math. Each activity is designed to build that foundation, one project at a time.

Community Building

We're building more than a program. We are building a community where kids, parents and neighbors show up for each other. Every workshop is a chance to connect, not just create
