A finger puppet they designed themselves. Sand art that lights up. A drawing with a digital second life. The Souk of Little Creators brings five creative zones to Souk Madinat Jumeirah this week, with children and parents invited to explore them together.
Each child receives an Artist Passport, collecting stickers as they move between activities. Anyone who has ever tried to leave somewhere with one sticker missing will understand the commitment involved.
The Impressionist Garden brings nature-inspired art into digital projections. Then Sketch to AI transforms children’s drawings into digital artworks, accessible afterwards through a QR code. Their latest creation gets somewhere to live beyond the fridge.

After School or at the Weekend?
The afternoon start makes this a possible after-school outing, with Saturday and Sunday available if the weekday diary is already full.
Plan it as time to make things together. The programme is aimed at children and their parents, so this is a shared activity rather than a drop-off session. You could follow it with dinner at the souk, but leave a little breathing room between the art and the table reservation.
