A New Year and new beginning!

We are launching Doodle Tots, an art class for the very, very little ones, aged 2-3 year olds. An art class with a twist, where the creation and joy is the aim and not only the finished art work. It’s messy play and textural play and sensory play and teaching the toddlers about art and how wonderful the whole creation process can be.

Classes are in the mornings fitting in well before nap time. A small class allowing more individual attention for the kids. The classes will be Squishing, stamping, smearing, oozing, dipping, scrunching, cutting, painting, drawing, scratching, pasting, playing and messing.  O so messy! The environment is child friendly and classes are taught by an experienced art teacher.

I love seeing the joy people get from creating and that moment of absolute pride and achievement when that joy has translated into a piece of art. Teaching kids is the most rewarding experience, they relish in the making, and get so involved with what they are doing. Children have this amazing ability to be brave and dive head first into the project. I found such inspiration in my twin toddlers and have relished in the play, art and mess. They find such pleasure in the making and don’t get despondent when things aren’t perfect. And to see the absolute happiness and pride in their art pieces is phenomenal.

So without any further ado, Doodle Tots will start January 2016. Here’s to happy creating, messing and playing.
