Looking for things to do in London with kids? This family workshop is a great way to inspire your kid's creative minds through the use of film! Follow in the footsteps of classic stop motion children's TV and films like Shaun the Sheep, Wallace and Gromit and more.
In this crafty workshop, adults and kids will have everything they need to create stage sets, props and more so you can work together on making a mini video. A friendly teacher will be on hand to guide you through 2D and 3D effects.
Your little film directors will then go home with all the inspiration and top tips they need to keep making more incredible stop motion animation at home.
Please note: Children aged 7 and above are welcome to be dropped off. Parents/carers are free to explore Spitalfields and Brick Lane while we create.
To ensure an uninterrupted and fun workshop for all participants, we kindly request that attendees arrive on time, as late arrivals exceeding a 10-minute delay will be turned away to avoid disruption to the ongoing class and inconvenience to others.

Recent reviews of Children's Animation Workshop

  • 3/5 from Erica Hill, attended Aug 2026: activity ccould be done at home with ipad app
  • 5/5 from Tayvanie Nagendran, attended Mar 2026: Fantastic session. It was just our family which was fab as we got lots of 1:1 help to create the little film including with music and titles. Would definitely recommend the session but also the venue as a whole which runs lots of classes.
  • 5/5 from Claire Gooch, attended Feb 2026: My son really enjoyed his experience. I was happy to be able to get involved with him and thought the atmosphere was friendly. Kyle and Francesco were great hosts. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Gabriella Garcia, attended Jan 2026: They loved it! Fun and interactive and Sorcha was very friendly.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Williams, attended Sep 2025: My daughter absolutely loved it and wants to go back again. A great way to be creative
  • 1/5 from Shellion Maddix, attended Aug 2025: I was informed yesterday after attending the venue to find out about the workshop because I did not receive a confirmation that it would be cancelled for today as there had not been people booked onto the workshop. It seems as if this would have never been communicated to me and it was a lucky thing I turned up to request information. I would therefore like to request a refund based on this to return to my account. Thanks
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2025: An interesting and fun class. I was instructed on how to make a stop motion video, which motivated me to make other videos at home and improve my skills further.
  • 4/5 from Helen Allen, attended Mar 2025: Great session, our son really enjoyed it
  • 5/5 from Kitty Travers, attended Jan 2025: Jess our teacher was great - fun space, my kids loved it
  • 5/5 from Natasha Griffith, attended Sep 2024: My son was given the animation class as a gift. While he had used stop motion before at school, he really enjoyed the class, being able to explore his creative side more freely! Sorcha was a wonderful teacher, really patient, helpful and encouraging! Especially when it came to the storyboards and helping to develop the animations and bring them to life! The venue was a creative hub so was quite busy but there was plenty of space for the animation class. There was also plenty of plasticine for the animations and we were even allowed to take the creations home! The class was great value for money and having seen my son's animation, my daughter would like to have a go so we will definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Lucy, attended Sep 2024: My daughter had such a good time at the children’s animation class. She planned, created and shot a short animation in the two hours she was there. The teacher was very patient and encouraging. I bought the class as a present for my daughter and she has already asked if she can come back again.
  • 5/5 from Christian Zanzico, attended Sep 2024: Absolutely recommend a great experience, my niece (7yrs) really enjoyed it - loves animation. This was a greater taster w a great teacher (Sorcha) encouraging the class to be creative w their story. Highly recommended
  • 5/5 from James Bickers, attended Aug 2024: This class is fantastic! Our group had such an amazing time creating characters and making stories, learning new skills in animation.
  • 5/5 from Millie Mason, attended Mar 2024: My nephew had a blast with the Art Play team at the animation workshop- we have just booked onto the kids pottery with the same teacher. Can't wait!
  • 4/5 from Susie Huntington, attended Feb 2024: My daughter and I had a fun time in a viby venue. She was maybe a bit old for the class (age 11). Ideal perhaps for 8-10yrs.
  • 5/5 from Georgina, attended Jan 2024: Our 6 year old really enjoyed the class. The teacher was really patient and attentive, encouraging his creativity. There were loads of materials available to use, felt really relaxed and 2 hours felt like the perfect length. Our son really enjoyed his afternoon, thank you!
  • 1/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Dec 2023: the class was cancelled the same day, no specific reason was given. We had canceled other plans to be able to attend.
  • 5/5 from Veena Naganathar, attended Oct 2023: My 8 year old nephew had a great time! Great interaction with other kids to make the story come to life together
  • 5/5 from Baaden Terese, attended Jul 2023: Thank you! It’s a wonderful afternoon experience for the entire family. It’s a must!
  • 4/5 from Catherine Lutman, attended May 2023: Loved the workshop. Teachers were lovely and very helpful. Only would have been better to have more cameras so that more people could film at the same time.
  • 5/5 from Katharina Riesen, attended Mar 2023: The kids loved the stop motion movie workshop! The teachers were really calm and patient and the kids loved watching the videos they made.
  • 5/5 from Naomi Stokes, attended Feb 2023: My son and his friend attended the animation class and they absolutely loved it! The teacher made them both feel comfortable and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The studio is also a nice space.
  • 5/5 from Nicole Hansen, attended Feb 2023: Children (aged 8 and 11) enjoyed the experience, they said it was fun and interesting - only downside was a bit frustrating when things didn’t work (but that is part of the experience!). Venue lovely and teacher very helpful and friendly. Parent enjoyed the 2 hour mooch around Spitalfields also
  • 5/5 from Saima Mir, attended Jan 2023: My son loved the animation class. It was just the right length, the teachers were lovely, and the venue was in an excellent location. Easy to get to from Liverpool St, and in the centre of Spitalfields Market.
