Turning screens off and imaginations on!

Art and craft workshops for 6-10 year old boys and girls.

Technology and devices dominate children’s lives. The art and joy of hands-on making is undervalued.  With little time-out from their screens – children often miss out on the fun and creativity of art and craft activities also known as maker-centred learning.  

How children benefit from maker-centred learning

It empowers them to engage and shape their world. They build:

• resilience
• self esteem
• self awareness
• fine motor skills
• creative problem solving abilities
• a sense of community and connection

We nurture children’s imaginations through the art of making to spark:

1. creativity
2. curiosity
3. connection
4. collaboration
5. kindness
