Library Fun

There are a couple of spots available in our Wednesday term, join us in the library!

A supportive and calm environment, helping you enjoy being creative with your kids, knowing you don't have to clean up afterwards!

The Fun In Art is a 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 rug in the middle of the room, and tables pushed to the side.

This will be a collaborative environment, with the littles ones encouraged to move around the room freely.

We'll be having fun:

• drawing, scribbling and stamping their hearts out

• there will be butchers paper on tables for open ended fun

• lots of general painting

• using special window crayons to draw on the window

• colouring in sheets on clipboards that they can walk around with

• playing and being creative with duplo

• using a magic water canvas together

• 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.

• There is free car parking at the venue.

Exchange and refund policy I know parenting can be tricky, and sleepless nights, sickness and tantrums occur. Firstly, if you're having a bad morning don't feel like you…
