Kids Carnival Club
Half an hour of carnival dance and history with Zaiah Arts, then half an hour turning a plain tee into a wearable masterpiece with feathers, gems and glitter. They'll walk out ready for Children's Day.
The t-shirt is the culture
Long before the big costumes and the truck sound systems, carnival started with people making something of their own — a bit of paint, a few sequins, a flag's colours stitched into whatever you had on. Mas has always been about personalisation. Nobody's costume looks like anyone else's, and that's the whole point.
Our t-shirt session isn't just an arts and crafts hour. It's a chance for kids to learn that carnival is something you make, not just something you watch — and to walk into Children's Day wearing a piece of themselves.
FAQ
Do I need to bring my own t-shirt?
Bring a plain tee from home if you've got one you want to use, or grab one on the day — either way works.
What age is this for?
Great for primary-school-aged children. Younger siblings are welcome to join in with a grown-up nearby.
Do parents need to stay?
Yes — it's a hands-on hour with feathers, glue and gems flying, so we ask a parent or carer to stay in the room.
Is there step-free access?
SPID Theatre has accessible ground-floor entry with a lift.
