Greenbelt 2011 - Rachel's choices for six year olds

This is just half of the list I have :)

Where the wild things are
Come make mischief in The Hub as we get our terrible teeth into the classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are. Have a go at creative stuff like block-printing and mask-making or chill out with a good read borrowed from the bookshelves in Max's room. Plus: imagine yourself king for the day, and mount the throne of opportunity to address your subjects in a royal festival broadcast!

circus skills
On the village green.  All the kids we go with gravitated here last year, they could be themselves together, I hope the same's true this year.

sew far sew good
Sisters Susie Hopkins (primary school teacher, Leeds) and Gillian Lever (artist, Cheltenham) are combining forces offering workshops where you will be able to fashion your very own 'Dreams of Home' sampler. Sewing card activities will also be available for younger children.

environmental art
BEES helps you rediscover your inner adventurer with an inspiring mix of hands-on play, bushcraft, practical conservation and environmental projects.

podule building
Jan Niedojadlo creates gigantic sculptures from recycled materials, including foam, rubber and carpet that incorporate subtle effects of lighting, sound and smell (provided by essential oils and other sources) to engage all five senses. 

let's go fly a kite
Mary Poppins is flying into Greenbelt. Join her and she will show you how to make your own bird kite – dove, eagle, robin or lark. You do the design with fabric pens, stickers, slogans, feathers, tapes and ribbons.

dreams of home
This year at Greenbelt, Jon will be working will people of all ages to create a teepee village. 

beginners drumming
If you have had little or no drumming experience, now is your chance to get going! We will be exploring basic drum rhythms which will give you a good structure to continue practising and polishing up your drumming skills.

the mousehole cat
Noted for its beautifully crafted puppets, PuppetCraft is one of Britain's most acclaimed puppet companies. Using traditional folktales and original modern stories, PuppetCraft presents a wide range of shows and workshops for children, families and adults. It tours nationally and internationally to schools, theatres, villages and festivals.

And of course .....

tickling in public
Like two thirds of The Goodies or half of the Fantastic Four, Paul Cookson and Stewart Henderson are the Two Degrees of performance poetry. Greenbelt's favourite poetical offspring return with a barnstorming show of old favourites, new favourites, firm favourites and family favourites. Audience participation is non-negotiable, ukuleles are optional but laughter is inevitable. The most fun you can have in a tent with a thousand other people.
