What we do

LBP begins with a brief group discussion about all the different buildings and creations throughout the world. Anything from Skyscrapers to robots.  We then have a look at some of the tools a builder may use, as well as things that could be found at home. There is a big focus on safety and correct use of tools. With the Free Build activity we also discuss the different shapes and how they can be combined to make certain objects.  After this presentation, the group breaks up into smaller groups of up to 12 at a time. Each child gets a turn at building one of the creations using one of our purpose made building stations.

The Marble Maze activity is done with the use of glue, screws and pre-cut timber that fits perfectly into the small desk top work stations, allowing extra support whilst creating. These can be done on standard tables within a classroom.

The Free Build activity  is best provided using the Little Builders workbench. Dimensions of this are 2400mm x 860mm. If access is an issue it can also be provided on standard tables within a classroom  using spill matts etc.

Both the Free build and the Marble Maze activities allow opportunities for individual artwork to be added, allowing the children the opportunity to add a unique flare to their creation.

How many children can we cater for?

The presentation part can be done with whole or multiple classes. Following that, groups of up to 12 at a time can begin their creations.

Each group would need roughly 20 minutes at the building stations. If needed we can increase the group sizes.
