Published on: 14th February 2023

Sky Kids and Crayola partner to create an interactive experience for kids this half-term at Westfield Stratford.

This half- term, to celebrate the launch of the brand new ad-free Sky Kids TV channel, Sky Kids has partnered with Crayola to create an interactive experience at Westfield Stratford from 11th-18th February.

Kids are invited to let their imagination come to life with Crayola by colouring on a giant colouring wall featuring some of Sky Kids’ most loved characters. They can also take part in Sky Kids character art workshops, where they can get hands-on with painting, drawing, creating and doodling classes using Crayola’s mess free products and enjoy Sky Kids shows in the screening room.

Walk in workshop sessions are free and will run hourly from 10am – 3pm Monday to Thursday, with no booking necessary.

The Sky Kids package is currently home to over 10,000 episodes on demand and a variety of linear partner channels such as Nick Jr., Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. A new 24-hour ad-free channel has also just launched to inspire children and families alike: this is available at no extra cost for existing Sky Kids customers and Now Entertainment members.

Sky customers can upgrade to the Sky Kids package for £6 a month while members of the streaming service Now will also be able to access the new channel as part of its £9.99 Entertainment Membership.

The TV channel will house existing Sky Kids favourites such as Miffy, Where’s Wally, Morph, Pip and Posy, The Very Small Creatures, MC Grammar Wonder Raps, Draw with Will and so much more. Other Sky Original shows airing this year include Mittens and Pants, narrated by Marcus Bentley (Big Brother); My Friend Misty, narrated by Daisy Haggard (Breeders, Back to Life) and executive produced by Fearne Cotton, BooSnoo!, developed with support from the National Autistic Society, and Ready, Eddie Go!, narrated by Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who).
