This Inclusive POP! art workshop offers a calm, welcoming creative space for young children and their grown ups. The session focuses on process-based art play, allowing children to explore materials freely, follow their interests, and work at their own pace.

The session will begin with a short, gentle story, which will inspire a simple art activity exploring hiding, finding and revealing through picture-making.

Activities are open-ended and designed to reduce pressure, with a relaxed structure that supports different sensory needs and styles of engagement. The emphasis is on shared making, creative exploration and enjoying time together in a supportive environment.

Materials that will be available during the session include:
A selection of art materials will be available for children to explore, including coloured paper, colouring pencils, crayons, washable markers, paint sticks, glue sticks and small pieces of fabric.

Suitable for 3-6 Year Olds
