Art Holiday program (4-6yo): Loose Parts Monster

Feel & Create: School Holiday Art Workshops for Kids — Monster Creation from Loose Parts Bring your little one along for an hour of creative play, all about feeling and expressing through art. Using bits and bobs you'd never normally think to glue down, bottle caps, fabric scraps, buttons, wire, whatever we've rescued from ending up in landfill becomes the raw material for a monster completely their own. This isn't about walking away with a perfect piece of art. It's about the making: the mess, the choices, the focus, the fun. Our sessions are built around process over final product, with a gentle emotional check in to start, plenty of hands on creative time, and a relaxed wrap up to finish. Led by: Rocio, a collage artist, and Catalina, an ANZACATA registered art therapist, working together to make this a genuinely calming, expressive space for kids, not just an art class. What to expect: ✔ 1h15 session: breathing and check in, art making, wrap up and share ✔ Process led workshop ✔ All materials provided ✔ Small groups (max 10) for a relaxed, unhurried pace ✔ Kids take their monster creations home Ages 4 to 6. Parents welcome to stay outside the art room, there are windows around so you can follow along, however space inside is limited, although this can also run as a drop off session.
