At Sweet Paper Creations, we believe that creativity has the power to connect people, lift spirits and open doors to healing conversations. That’s why we do more than just make colourful party pieces. We host piñata making workshops in London that are rooted in fun, imagination and community wellbeing. Our workshops are joyful and inclusive, but they also carry something deeper. As part of our ongoing commitment to mental health community projects in London, each workshop is designed with care, offering participants of all ages a safe and supportive space to express themselves. Whether you’re looking for a therapeutic activity, a hands-on family event, or a creative way to talk about emotions, our workshops offer something meaningful for everyone. Mental Health Workshops These gentle, reflective sessions are crafted to support emotional wellbeing. Our Mental Health Workshops are slower in pace, offering a calm, structured environment for adults and children aged eight and up. Held in small groups of no more than ten participants, the sessions are designed to feel personal, safe and open. Each participant starts by choosing a large piñata shell. We begin by inviting them to write down their worries, fears or concerns and paste them onto the surface. It’s a quiet but powerful moment, and many find that simply naming their feelings is the first step toward letting them go. From there, the decorating begins. Participants are encouraged to personalise their piñatas in any way they like. Colourful paper, patterns, drawings—it’s all about self-expression. Once decorated, they add notes about their hopes, goals and what brings them joy inside the piñata. Finally comes a powerful choice. Some people choose to smash their piñata, symbolising the release of negative thoughts and the embrace of positivity. Others prefer to keep theirs as a reminder of progress. Either way, it’s an emotional and empowering experience, guided with warmth and respect by our team. These workshops have become a core part of our mental health community projects in London, helping individuals feel heard, supported and reconnected with themselves. The Colour Monster: Interactive Storytelling for Under 8s Our Colour Monster Workshop is ideal for younger children and introduces emotional awareness in a playful, age-appropriate way. Designed for children aged under 8, this session uses songs, storytelling and hands-on crafting to help children understand and express their emotions. We begin by reading a wellbeing-themed storybook, such as The Colour Monster, which introduces emotions like happiness, anger, sadness and calm in simple, engaging ways. Through song and storytelling, children learn to recognise what different feelings look and feel like. After story time, the children get to make their very own piñata inspired by the story. Whether it's a bright yellow happiness monster or a blue sadness one, the craft is a fun and tactile way to explore feelings through colour and shape. Each child also receives a specially designed activity booklet. It includes gentle prompts and drawing exercises to help them reflect on what makes them feel different emotions, helping them build language and confidence around emotional expression. This workshop is light, lively and deeply valuable, creating an indirect way for children to explore their feelings while having fun. It’s a cornerstone of our creative approach to emotional literacy, and it’s always a joy to see the results. Community Drop-In Workshops Perfect for community fairs, family days, schools and local events, our Community Workshops are made for flexibility and fun. They are quick, energetic sessions designed for high-turnover environments, where children and adults alike can take part without a long time commitment. We work with 10 to 15 participants at a time, each creating a piñata base that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete. When one person finishes, another can take their place, allowing a constant flow of activity that works well in busy settings. These workshops are especially popular with families and are particularly suited to younger children aged 3 to 5, who may not be ready for longer sessions but still want to get creative. Our trained staff guide participants step by step, encouraging confidence and curiosity in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. These events often become moments of unexpected connection—between parents and children, between neighbours, or between individuals discovering a new passion. And every piñata made in these sessions contributes to our wider mission. Your Support Helps Us Keep Going Alongside our workshops, we also offer Handmade Piñatas for any occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, baby shower or simply want a custom creation to brighten a room, our handmade piñatas are crafted with care and creativity. What makes them even more special is that every purchase directly supports our mental health community projects in London. By choosing Sweet Paper Creations, you’re helping us deliver more workshops, reach more people, and create safe, creative spaces where individuals can explore their feelings and reconnect with joy.
