🎒
Post-Term 3 recharge

Shift gears after the SA1 season — different kind of productive.

Something to take home

A finished story page or illustrated scene — genuinely made by them.

A proper answer to the "what do I do with them all week?" question

September holiday is typically a week of competing pressures — catch-up, gaming, tuition, screen time, repeat. This is something else.

September holiday sessions — available all week

All activities available this September

Story-illustration is the headline format, but all six workshop activities run across the holiday. Pick what suits your child's mood on the day.

📖
September featured

Story Illustration + Comic Page

Character creation, panel layout, pencil-to-ink, watercolour finish. 90–120 min. Ages 5–12 independent; 4–5 with support.

🎭

Mosaic Art

Pattern design with real tesserae. Calm and focused — a good recovery-week format. 90 min. Ages 5 and up.

🖌️

Hand Painted Craft

Acrylic on a craft surface — guided design, personal colour choices. 60–90 min. All ages.

🏺

Clay Art

Sculpting, shaping, texture. Tactile and satisfying — good for kids who prefer 3D making. 60–90 min. Ages 4 and up.

📦

Cardboard Craft

3D builds — cut, construct, decorate. Structural and hands-on, best for active makers. 60 min. Ages 4 and up.

🐾

Twist & Turn Pet

Assemble and customise a character craft. Quick, fun, younger-friendly. 45–60 min. Ages 4–9.

Designed for every age from 4 to 12

Same studio, same holiday holiday week — different format depth per stage.

Ages 4–6

Preschool & Kindergarten

Shorter 45–60 min formats recommended. Story-illustration available with parent alongside or with closer facilitator support. Clay, Cardboard Craft, and Twist & Turn Pet suit this age group best for independent sessions.

Ages 7–9

Lower Primary (P1–P3)

The 90-min story-illustration format is designed squarely for this age. Reading-age children respond well to the panel layout concept. Mosaic and hand-painted craft are also strong choices for this group's focus-span.

Ages 10–12

Upper Primary (P4–P6)

Post-SA1 recovery mode. Story-illustration at this age becomes genuinely ambitious — manga-influenced character sheets, world-building, more complex panel compositions. A real creative outlet after the assessment grind.

What they leave with

Every September holiday session produces something tangible. Not a worksheet — actual work they made.

Their own character, their own story, their own art. A real creative document.

September holiday FAQs

Questions parents ask before booking a school holiday slot.

What exactly is the story-illustration activity — is it just drawing?
It's more structured than free drawing. The session guides children through character creation, panel layout, pencil sketching, inking, and colouring. The outcome is a 3–4 panel comic page or a single illustrated story scene — their own narrative, their own art. The facilitator provides creative prompts and technical guidance without deciding anything for the child.
My child isn't "artistic" — will they manage?
The story-illustration format is specifically designed to be accessible to children who don't think of themselves as artists. Character sketches are guided through simple shape-building; the panel composition has a framework. What matters is the story they want to tell — the drawing technique follows from that. Most reluctant-artist kids surprise themselves in this format.
Why is the September angle different from other holiday workshops?
September holiday follows Term 3, which for P4–P6 children includes SA1 exams and intensive academic pressure. Creative recharge specifically at this point in the year is different in character from the June holiday — it's genuinely recovery-mode, not just activity-filling. The story-illustration format channels that differently: it's expressive and narrative, not structured and technical. A deliberate choice for this window.
Can my P5 or P6 child join — aren't they supposed to be studying for PSLE?
PSLE oral examinations typically conclude before the September holiday, and written papers are in October. September holiday is a genuine break between the oral season and the final preparation push. A 90-minute creative session is not in conflict with PSLE preparation — it's a mental gear change that many families find helpful precisely because it isn't more academic work.
How do I book — form or WhatsApp?
Either works. The booking form captures all the details in one go and is the fastest path to confirmation. WhatsApp is better if you want to ask a question first or need to check availability for a specific slot before committing. We respond to both same-day.
Can siblings with different activity preferences book the same slot?
Yes — siblings can choose different activities in the same time slot. One does story-illustration, another does mosaic. Same drop-off, same pickup, sibling discount applied automatically. Just let us know both activity choices when you book.
Is this the same as the 5-day holiday art camp?
Different format. The 5-day holiday art camp runs Monday to Friday as a structured full-week programme with a progression across the days. September holiday single sessions are independent drop-ins — one session, one activity, no multi-day commitment. Both run during the same holiday window; the camp is deeper, the single sessions are more flexible.
What if my child wants to come more than once during the holiday?
Common, especially with the story-illustration format — some children want to do two panels per session and come back for the third. Multiple single sessions across the 9-day window are welcome. Each session is a separate booking. WhatsApp to ask about a multi-session rate if you're planning 3 or more.
What time are sessions and how long do they run?
Story-illustration sessions run 90–120 minutes. Other activity formats run 45–90 minutes depending on the activity. Morning and early afternoon slots are typically available throughout the September holiday — WhatsApp us with your preferred day and we'll confirm a time that works.
Is this suitable as a holiday playdate activity?
Yes — the story-illustration format works especially well for same-age friend pairs who want to create their own characters and stories side by side. Book 2–4 friends into the same slot and they'll naturally cross-pollinate ideas while working independently. Group of 5 or more qualifies for a small group rate — ask on WhatsApp.
