For the next four weekends, children across the country are invited to attend one of 40 Smyths Toys’ stores for a day of creative fun. The Creation Station, in collaboration with Smyths and Play-Doh, are offering youngsters the chance to enjoy a few hours of imaginative creativity.
There is no charge to take part and those who attend will be given a free tub of Play-Doh, as well as an activity booklet – while stocks last. There is no need to reserve your place, just turn up and enjoy.
Over the next four weekends, the dates to remember are Sunday, August 20th; Saturday, August 26th; Saturday, September 2nd and Saturday, September 9th.
The morning session will start at 10.30am, and run for two hours, while afternoon sessions will last for three and a half hours, beginning at 1pm. The one exception is that on Sunday, August 20th, the afternoon session will end at 4pm, not 4.30.
