Muscat: Several studies suggest that children lose creativity as they age. In a world where children are “growing up digital”, it is important that parents nurture their kids’ creativity and curiosity with a balance approach.
This summer, City Centre Qurum – a lifestyle shopping mall and community destination will host a series of brick workshops for children from July 11 – 31 as part of the mall’s summer campaign.
Designed to cultivate children’s imagination, the workshops will tap into their creative side through themed play. The workshop includes a range of brick-building activities including games, puzzles, and challenges. Children can also participate in arts and crafts and have their face painted. Those who participate will be gifted a Magic Planet card. Workshops run daily between 5pm to 10pm on the mall’s ground floor.
