Or how about making pizzas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking workshops are even more fun during holiday periods, such as Christmas, as bakes can be themed to the occasion.&nbsp; Some of the skills children will acquire while having fun include measuring, weighing and the science behind ingredients like yeast and baking powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/party-foods-for-hire\">baking parties and more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Puppet workshop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A puppet workshop can cover multiple skills, from learning how to make puppets move to making puppets, or even a puppet theatre, from various materials.&nbsp;

There\u2019s no need for a potter\u2019s wheel or kiln; use air-drying clay which kids can take home and paint later, and simply allow them to mould it as they wish using various tools and their hands.&nbsp; This helps younger children to develop their fine motor skills and boosts the self-esteem of all participants as they proudly display their creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/art-and-craft-for-hire\">arts and crafts parties<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Magic workshop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching a magician perform tricks is fabulous, but just imagine how much more amazing it is for kids to learn how to perform their own magic tricks!&nbsp;
