Description

Our mission is simple - we help families connect with nature and themselves, through mindful, nature inspired Art & Craft.

In our classes we:
- explore and learn about the natural environment
- do arts and crafts (there's always something beautiful to take home)
- explore different methods of mark making
- collaborate to make land art
- get messy! (and you won't need to clean up)
- read stories
- practise mindfulness
- use only natural / sustainable / vegan / recycled materials

Each month we journey through the season, with a different theme each class - maybe plants, an animal, the weather, or the season as a whole. In each class we make and create several different things, so your little one is kept busy and you can get some headspace. We also do lots of sensory activities and messy play - and you don't have to clean up!

We enjoy all different types of Art including: Product, Process, Collaborative, Land Art and more. These different Art types are specially selected to develop children's creativity and also support development of sensory processing skills, hand eye coordination and fine motor skills with classes written in line with the Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

We believe in a co-creation and facilitation approach with Guardians supporting children in the best way for their needs. Classes are designed for children aged around 8 months - 5 years allowing for them to try a range of activities with your support where needed.
