Home Education Sessions

Once a month on a Friday at 12pm, we open the Colour Room to home-educating families.

Children of different ages explore paint, printing, collage and more at their own pace, alongside other home-ed families, and everything they make goes home with them.

Most materials are included in the price.  If your child has a particular project in mind, you can buy optional upgrade resources at the front desk.

  • When: One Friday a month, 12pm
  • Where: The Colour Room, 50 Eastside, Kirkintilloch, G66 1QH
  • Ages: 18 months to 15 years, infants welcome
  • Price: Child £8.95, First adult free
  • Places: 16 per session
  • Booking: online, or call 0141 280 7071

At ColourPlay we strongly believe in the power of freeplay to inspire creativity and connection.

With that in mind, most of our materials are available to explore at your own pace, and are included in your session price.

Simply come in and play around with the materials available.

For those who have something a bit more specific in mind we also offer “upgrade” resources which can be purchased at the front desk.

  • Explore our range of materials
  • Unrestrictive Creative Play
  • Take It Home With You
  • Everyone Joins In!

How a Session Works

Arrive at 12pm

Settle into the Colour Room alongside other home-educating families.

Explore at your own pace

Paint, print. collage and more. Most materials are included in the price.

Grown-ups join in

You supervise your own children, and we'd love you to make something too.

Take it home

Everything your children make goes home with you.

Wear Old Clothes

At ColourPlay we encourage everyone to get involved with your creation, and that means you should expect to get messy!

Old clothes are strongly recommended for your colourplay session as we don’t have aprons!

Most of our resources will wash out, but there are some things which may not want to shift and with it being a freeplay studio we cannot guarantee there wont be stray paint splashes no matter how careful you’re being!

Everyone Joins In

Grown-ups are asked to supervise their littles and ensure they are using equipment in a way that is safe for themselves and those around them! But more than that – we want you to get involved too.  Create together and you will all have more fun!

Enjoy a Cold Drink & Snack

Our intimate Colour Room space does not allow us to offer cafe facilities.

But, we are happy to offer free complimentary bottled water, as well as a range of cold drinks and snacks to purchase at very reasonable prices!
