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.

• $21 first child, $16 siblings. (plus eventbrite fees)

• Suits kids 1-5 years old (younger siblings welcome and free).

We will be inside a private room in the Williamstown Library (The Book Room), and the decking area that is attached to it.

In this fun Monday session, we're celebrating The Fun In Art's birthday!

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.

These events are always so much fun, and I hope you can make it.

There will be party bags. There will be balloons. There will be decorations. It's going to be great!

More details to come.

Assuming the weather isn't too cold, we will be both inside, and outside on the decking area.

We'll be doing things like:

scribbling and stamping their hearts out on plain butchers paper
drawing on the windows with special window crayons
general painting on tables
colouring in some colouring in sheets
drawing with chalk all over the outdoor decking area
standing up with a kids easel outside
and having lots of fun!

These sessions are more about learning to love art, than creating any final masterpiece. The kids are always encouraged to express themselves however they like and be creative, so if they are more interested in mixing all the coloured paint together and putting handprints on the paper than anything else, it's more than fine! They will still enjoy themselves. :)

Why should I come?

It's lots of fun.
Helps your child be creative and learn to love art.
An opportunity to do something different.
Meet new people – both you and your child.
Helps build fine motor skills.
Helps with pre-writing skills.
Can help teach kids that mess is ok, and making mistakes is ok too.
You don't have to think of an art activity to do at home.
You don't have to clean up afterwards!

This is also a great way to give your kids the experience of painting and making lots of mess, if you the parent are a bit apprehensive about making that mess yourself at home. Come to my sessions and make the mess with me, keeping your house clean.

There is no pressure and a very easy going environment. There will be lots of scribbles, there will be smooshes of paint that you can't recognise as a picture, and there will be some great photos that you can take.

Extra info

Snacks and breastfeeding welcome.
I'll be taking photos throughout the morning and using them for marketing and promotional purposes. If you'd prefer your child is not included please simply let me know.
We will be painting, so please dress accordingly!
I have some art smocks, but only a limited amount. Depending on how many children attend, there may not be enough for all. If you have your own art smock please bring it along.
If your child has any allergies please let me know, as I often use recycled fruit cartons etc.
