Alice in Wonderland Photo Adventure for Kids – A Welshot For Kids February School Half-Term Event

Alice in Wonderland Photo Adventure for Kids – A Welshot For Kids February School Half-Term Event
Looking for something a little different to do this February half term? We’re running a relaxed, creative morning for kids who are curious about photography, love being creative, or simply enjoy getting outside and exploring. No pressure, no tests, no expectations. Just space to play, look, notice, and have fun.
We’ll be wandering around Llandudno, North Wales, following parts of the Alice in Wonderland Trail, with a few gentle creative challenges along the way. Children can join in as much or as little as they like.
Who is this for?
This morning is ideal for:
- Kids who are curious about photography. We suggest the age range should be between 5 – 15 years
- Children who enjoy being creative
- Those who might feel nervous in structured activities
- Families who want something relaxed and different to do together
They don’t need experience. They don’t need fancy equipment. They don’t even need to take many photos.
What’s it all about?
This morning is designed to:
- Help kids feel comfortable taking photos (without worrying about being “good”)
- Encourage creativity, curiosity, and confidence
- Let children explore the world around them in a fun, playful way
- Offer a calm alternative to screens, schedules, and pressure
Some kids will take loads of photos. Some will take a few and then just enjoy the walk. Both are absolutely fine with us.
What can they use?
Whatever they’re happiest with:
- A phone
- Their own camera
- Or they can borrow one of ours (they may need to share)
There’s no requirement (or pressure) to know how anything works, we’ll gently help when needed.
What will we do?
Nothing formal. Nothing intimidating. Along the walk, we’ll offer:
- Simple photo ideas like “spot something curious” or “find a shape or colour”
- Time to explore the Alice in Wonderland sculptures
- Encouragement to look closely, imagine stories, and notice details
- Plenty of freedom to opt in, step back, or just enjoy the moment
There’s no right or wrong way to take part.
What they might learn (without realising it)
This morning isn’t about teaching photography in a classroom sense, but along the way, children may naturally begin to:
- Notice the world more closely:
- Looking for shapes, colours, textures, and details they might normally walk past.
- Tell stories with pictures:
- Using the Alice in Wonderland trail as inspiration to imagine characters, moments, or mini adventures.
- Feel more confident using a camera or phone:
- Learning that there’s no right or wrong way. Just curiosity and trying things out.
- Slow down and focus:
- Taking a moment to look, wait, and decide what catches their eye.
- Trust their own ideas:
- Choosing what they want to photograph, rather than being told what to capture.
- Enjoy being creative without pressure:
- Discovering that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect, finished, or shared.
- Connect creativity with the outdoors:
- Seeing photography as a reason to explore, walk, and enjoy being outside.

For Parents & Guardians – Please Note:
A parent or guardian MUST stay for the entire session. This is a shared experience (free of charge for attending parent of guardian) and you’re very welcome to:
- Walk alongside
- Join in
- Take photos too
- Or simply enjoy watching your child explore and create
No childcare vibes, no pressure on anyone. You are welcome to bring any other children under 5-years of age with you free of charge. If you have more than one child who’d like to attend and take part in the event, please email me on lee@welshotimaging.co.uk or phone 07765461324 and we will arrange a discount for you.
Children will all take something different from the morning. Some may come away excited about photography. Others may simply enjoy the freedom, the walk, and the shared experience. Both outcomes are a success.
