The Little Creative Monster Inside You — Explore Big Feelings Through Art And Play

What happens when you give kids the freedom to create without worrying about getting it “right”? AIRSIDE GATE33 Gallery’s new The Little Creative Monster Inside You invites children aged 3 to 12 (and their grown-ups) through five hands-on activity zones designed around creativity, emotional awareness and parent-child co-creation. Developed with input from art therapists, educators and psychologists, activities range from brushing and cuddling giant fuzzy monster “Little Me” to weaving, building, making your own monster and exploring different emotions through play.

Sassy Mama has tried it! Our kids had a great time moving through the activity stations, but what really stood out was how absorbed they became. There’s no end product they’re expected to make and no “correct” way to take part — they can simply follow their emotions, experiment and create. Parents are encouraged to get involved too, playing and exploring alongside their children not just watching from the sidelines.

And perhaps there’s something in it for the grown-ups as well. The final activities encourage families to recognise, experience and move through different feelings rather than simply pushing them aside. Plus, kids get a very cute little monster to bring home.

When: Friday, 14 August to Sunday, 20 September, 2026; 12pm to 8pm
Where: AIRSIDE GATE33 Gallery, Shop 312, 3/F, AIRSIDE
How much: Parent-child combo tickets from $90 on weekdays and $110 on weekends and public holidays; daily admission is limited
