Toddler & pre-school art playgroup
A supportive and calm environment, helping you enjoy being creative with your kids, knowing you don’t have to clean up afterwards!
Toddler and pre-school Art Playgroup in the Inner West of Melbourne.
Suits kids 1-5 years old (younger siblings welcome and free).
What will we be doing?
There will be a few different activities happening all at the same time, so the kids can walk around, move between things, change what they are doing, and choose something they are interested in.
This session will be part of Nature Play Week.
That means that we will be having lots of nature play, with things like:
🌿 Leaves
🌿 Gumnuts
🌿 and Flowers!
We will be outside in a fenced off garden, doing lots of creative and arty things:
drawing, scribbling and stamping their hearts out
there will be butchers paper straight on the floor for open ended fun
general painting
painting on leaves and gumnuts
chopping up leaves
hole punching leaves
using special window crayons to draw on the windows
colouring in sheets on clipboards that they can walk around with
there will be 2 kids easels for them to stand up with
drawing with chalk on the concrete footpath
some water play
having lots of fun!
(if it’s raining, or too hot, we will be indoors – same location)
