Lands of Discovery
Week 1 Monday 28th September - Friday 2nd October
Week 2 Monday 5th October - Thursday 8th October
Welcome to our Term 3 Marbles Holiday Programme. Inspired by the wonderful artists who attend Marbles, this term's theme and projects have been created from their fabulous ideas and imaginations. Each day we'll journey to a brand-new Land of Discovery, where incredible adventures, exciting stories and amazing art projects are waiting to be explored. Every project has been carefully designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and encourage children to imagine, explore and create in their own unique way. No two projects are ever the same, and every child will return home with a masterpiece they'll be proud to treasure.
St Leo’s School Hall | 4 Owens Road, Devonport
Start/Finish Times
9:00am - 3:00pm
The best place to drop off and pick up your treasure is through the school gates on Owens Road. Parents can drive right in and park by the playground.
Marbles Café
We have a fabulous new menu available for our children, with plenty of variety and all their favourite treats. We make sure there's something for everyone to enjoy and are mindful of individual dietary needs, including options for gluten-free children.
Wheels / Sports (during break times)
Children are very welcome to bring their bikes or scooters to Marbles! We’ll have a designated area set up just for riding, safely separated from other play spaces. Don’t forget to bring your helmet!
Orders & Refunds
We truly appreciate every order we receive — thank you so much for supporting our small business!
We understand that plans can change, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate order updates when possible.
If your little treasure is unable to attend, please give our team at least 24 hours’ notice so we can try to fill their space.
Unfortunately, if we’re notified on the morning of your child’s booking, we’re unable to offer a refund.
We’re also unable to refund sold-out days, as our amazing website team cannot add extra spaces once a day is fully booked.
Step into the sweetest land imaginable, where every corner tells a delicious story! Together, we will build an amazing candy land train filled with colourful surprises and magical details. Imagine a world where the train driver whips up fluffy candy floss in the cab, the conductor wraps secret chocolate treats for passengers, and the ticket wizard sprinkles the tracks with soft, squishy marshmallows!
Using an incredible selection of vibrant materials, each child will design and create their own wonderfully imaginative, candy-filled train bursting with fun, colour, and creativity.
Deep within this mysterious land live magical creatures waiting to be brought to life. Will you choose a towering giant, a mischievous troll, a grumpy ogre or a magical witch? Using our wonderful potter's clay, children will carefully sculpt their chosen character before designing an imaginative miniature world for it to call home. With forests, bridges, castles, caves and magical landscapes to create, every model will become part of a unique story waiting to be told.
Dive beneath sparkling waves into an enchanted underwater world filled with mystery and magic. Children will transform a prepared scene into a breathtaking underwater landscape using their imagination and a wonderful collection of creative materials. Perhaps they'll discover friendly mermaids, hidden treasure, magical sea creatures, glowing coral gardens or secret underwater kingdoms. Every Magical Waters scene will overflow with colour, detail and imagination, becoming a spectacular masterpiece to proudly display at home.
The curtain is about to rise! Today we have two wonderful projects for our artists.
Project 1 - To start the day, artists will transform a simple puppet theatre into a spectacular work of art worthy of a real performance.
Project 2 - Artists will then create two fabulous sock puppets using bright colours, exciting textures, funny faces, crazy hairstyles and plenty of imagination.
Once the theatre is complete and the puppets come to life, the stories can begin! This wonderful project will continue to inspire hours of imaginative play long after the holidays have ended.
Calling all inventors, engineers and future robot designers! We've built the foundations of your robot using our fantastic collection of boxes, but now it's your turn to invent something truly amazing. Will your robot be funny, helpful, super-fast or brilliantly clever? Children will design, build and decorate a one-of-a-kind robot using an exciting variety of creative materials. Every robot will have its own personality, special features and inventive style, making each creation completely unique.
Welcome to the most magical land of all! Every young wizard and witch needs the perfect collection of magical treasures. Children will create their very own Wizard's Case, filled with bubbling potion bottles, secret spell books, magical wands, enchanted ingredients and everything else needed for incredible adventures. Using their imagination, they'll invent powerful spells, create mysterious potions and design magical objects that no wizard should ever be without. The only limit is their imagination!
If you could create the perfect pet, what would it be? A cuddly puppy, a playful kitten, a colourful bird, or a friendly fish?
Today, every child becomes a toy designer as they design, sew, stuff and decorate their very own soft toy companion. Once their special pet is complete, they'll create wonderful accessories to make it feel right at home. Every handmade pet will have its own unique personality and become a treasured friend to love for years to come.
Dreams can take us anywhere... soaring through the clouds, swimming with dolphins, visiting magnificent castles, exploring enchanted forests or travelling among the stars. Today, children will capture their favourite dreams inside a beautiful Dream Jar using an amazing collection of magical materials, vibrant colours and tiny treasures. Every Dream Jar will be completely unique—a special keepsake filled with imagination that will brighten bedrooms and inspire wonderful dreams for years to come.
Welcome to the Land of Games!
Today is all about creating games the whole family will love to play. Children will design their own exciting board game, complete with colourful playing pieces, creative challenges and imaginative rules, before making a personalised family puzzle to enjoy again and again. Finally, they'll design and decorate a fantastic game box worthy of sitting proudly on any toy shop shelf. It's a day packed with creativity, laughter and projects that will continue bringing families together long after the holidays are over.
