Over 100 Toy Story inspired children carved potatoes and other vegetables at The Mall Luton last weekend as they sculpted their very own veg-tastic Mr Potato heads in the latest Funday Sunday Kids Club.

With celery stick arms, broccoli hair and cabbage skirts, there were many varieties of potato people among the creations - and even the Mall Monster helped some children piece together their characters.

“All the children were very excited about making their own versions of Mr Potato Head,” says Lavinia Holland, Marketing Manager for The Mall Luton. “The children, and even some of the parents, helped make some brilliant creations! We hope to see them all again next month for more activities, and would also welcome any newcomers!”

Funday Sundays occur on the last Sunday of each month between 11am and 4pm and is free for all children to participate. At the next event on Sunday 29th August, children will be decorating 100% cotton pencil cases in time to go back to school.

No, this wasn’t part of the set for the latest Alice in Wonderland film, it was all due to the extra special Funday Sunday Kids Club! In true Luton style, children got to design their very own Easter Bonnets to celebrate Spring and Easter.

The superb selection of headwear was produced by the creative children, which was an impressive site. The afternoon was a great success and was finished off with a visit from the famous Mall Monster! To reward all the children for their hard work and inspiring creations, he gave every child a soft toy bunny.

Lavinia Holland, marketing manager of The Mall said, “Children thoroughly enjoyed this month’s Funday Sunday; as always they got to take something home with them to show to their family and friends and the Easter and Alice in Wonderland themes definitely put a spring in their step! It was also lovely to see some familiar faces from previous Funday Sunday’s but also to welcome all the new ones that came along.”

Funday Sunday is FREE for all children to join and happens on the last Sunday of each month, the next event is on St Georges day, on Sunday 25th April, where children will be invited to plant seeds in bio-degradable pots to take home.

LUTON KIDS GO MAD FOR MAD HATTER HATS AND EASTER BONNETS AT THE MALL LUTON

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

easter-bonnet-worn-by-frey-white-3-years-olda1Spring is officially here! In true Luton style, local children are being invited to take part in a special Mad Hatter and Easter Bonnet workshop to celebrate the fact that Easter is on its way.

The event, which is completely free, is the third Funday Sunday Kids’ Club held at The Mall Luton. It will take place on the 28th March between 11am and 4pm and all children are welcome to join in the fun.

Luton, the home of the ‘Hatters’ and famous for its international hat trade, has always been at the cutting-edge of hat design. And there are sure to be some wonderful millinery creations in The Mall Luton on the 28th March! Every child will get the opportunity to create a funky hat to wear home or to give away as a fabulous Easter present. The workshop will take place at Melson Square (outside Mothercare) and the first 100 children to arrive will receive a complimentary gift from the Mall Monster.

Over 350 children have enjoyed the Funday Sunday events in The Mall Luton so far this year. With Easter just around the corner, and this month’s theme also including the much anticipated Alice in Wonderland film, children should have plenty of inspiration to create hats and bonnets that early (and existing) Luton hat makers would be proud of.

“Luton is very proud to be the home of the millinery trade,” Says Lavinia Holland, Marketing Manger for the Mall Luton.”So we are very excited about this month’s Funday Sunday Kids’ Club. Judging by the success of the clubs in January and February, I think children will love it - as it involves dressing up and being creative! It is always lovely to see the children take home something they have made themselves which they are really proud of.”

Every child can pick up a free “Stamp Me” loyalty card if they have not been to the club before. This loyalty card lists the dates and theme of every Funday Sunday Kids’ Club in 2010 and tells children what they will be making at each session - so they can look forward to more fun throughout the year.

The next Funday Sunday Kids’ Club event will take place on April 25th 2010 and will be dedicated to celebrating the new Robin Hood film by making Robin Hood hats and Maid Marion crowns!

Ends.

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

sienna-nicolson-4-and-mum-angela-baldwinThe Mall Luton was buzzing with creative children last Sunday, as 110 local kids attended February’s Funday Sunday Kids’ Club! The children had a wonderful time cutting, sticking, colouring-in and taking photographs to create personalised cards to give to their mums this Mother’s Day.

The Mall Luton provided the space and the materials (plus the messy paint and glue of course!) to ensure that every child took home a card they could be very proud of.

Lavinia Holland, Marketing Manager at The Mall Luton said “It was lovely to see so many children having such fun making cards for their mums. Mother’s Day is a brilliant way to reward all those busy mothers who do so much for their families and don’t often get a ‘thank-you’!”

Funday Sundays take place on the last Sunday of each month between 11am and 4pm at The Mall Luton. The next event is on Sunday 28th March, where children will be celebrating Easter and the new release of Alice in Wonderland film. In true Luton tradition, kids will be able to make their own “Mad Hatter” hat! All children are invited and there is no cost to join.
