As distance learning continues across Dubai, Lush offers creative, hands-on sessions to help children unwind, play, and connect – no booking or fee required.

With many schools in Dubai continuing distance learning, parents are always on the lookout for meaningful ways to give their children a break from screens. If you’re searching for something engaging, creative, and – best of all – free, there’s a new initiative happening across the UAE that’s well worth adding to your weekly routine.

From March 26 to April 30, Lush is opening its doors for daily “After School Sessions” in all UAE stores. These walk-in sessions are designed to offer children and teens a tactile, hands-on escape from online classes, homework, and digital fatigue.

The concept is simple: drop in whenever it suits your schedule and let your child explore a variety of interactive activities in a relaxed, welcoming environment. There’s no need to book ahead, making it a flexible option for busy families juggling changing routines.

Activities are designed to spark creativity and sensory play, and may include Knot Wrap games, product-making workshops, plant potting, and other fun, hands-on experiences. Whether your child loves crafting, experimenting, or simply trying something new, there’s something to keep them engaged.

More than just a way to pass the time, these sessions provide a valuable opportunity for children to reset, socialise, and reconnect with the physical world—something many parents will appreciate during periods of extended online learning.
