About Us
Picture Book Creations was inspired by 25 years teaching in the primary classroom and the countless children who shaped that journey.
Children thrive on creativity—through stories and books, making and building, imaginative play, and movement, music, and self-expression.
At the heart of Picture Book Creations is a simple belief: creative experiences help children explore, grow in confidence, and express who they are.
Testimonials
“My daughter had another wonderful day! You create an environment in which she feels comfortable to attend on her own, knowing that it will be easy to make friends. She loved the art activities and has shown all of our visitors her creations. We will return time and time again. I’m so grateful to have a holiday club that she attends happily and looks forward to.”
Holiday Workshop
“My girls love your workshops; I think it’s wonderful you do something different every time as my daughter can get bored easily if doing the same thing and she’s always eager to do another workshop and excited every-time she goes. My younger daughter can be on the shy side but comes to your sessions excited and with confidence. They come home with the most wonderful artwork. Thank you all so much for your wonderful care; the children adore you and you make it a very special place for them to spend time over the school holidays.”

8th birthday – Watercolour Party for 6 children
“From the off Cathy was so fabulous to work with. Communication was fantastic, her ideas for the party were brilliant and I felt completely comfortable letting her lead the way on the day! Both Cathy and Anna were so great with the children, encouraging and guiding them and helping the creative juices flow, but at the same time giving them space and time to create. I still can’t get over what fantastic pieces of art they managed to produce in such a short amount of time! The resources and art materials Cathy provided were of excellent quality too. They even brought their own towels and cleaning equipment so there was zero tidying up afterwards!! I couldn’t recommend Picture Book Creations more highly and I would 100% recommend them to any of my friends for a party or workshop. Can’t wait for the next one!”
11th birthday – Acrylic Painting Party for 8 children.
“I booked my 7yr olds birthday party with picture book creations. I couldn’t fault any aspect of it. Cathy spent a lot of time communicating throughout, making sure she picked the perfect story for my child. They were friendly, organised and quite honesty I have never hosted an easier birthday party! My daughter loved every minute and was made to feel very special. All the attention to detail and personalised gifts for the birthday girl were perfect. All the children had a wonderful time and I had many comments from parents about how much their child enjoyed the party and how lovely the party bags were. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend picture book creations to my friend and family.”
