Art For Kids

( Open Farm Community )

Sept 2017

10th Sun, 10:00am-5:00 pm

Swing by the Open Farm Community Social Market for an art-filled day with the Jelly Bean Attic crew! There will be various craft sessions throughout the day for the little ones to create, play and discover. The kids will also get to take home their masterpieces.

The workshops focus on process art and use a thematic lens through which everyone can engage in art-making. By facilitating rather than instructing, little ones are given room to explore various materials and mediums to create.

Play and art is an incredible experience for young kids, encouraging them to be themselves and discover the world through different colours and textures. It’s all about the creation process rather than the outcome.

Process art promotes:

Spatial reasoning
Fine motor skills
Sensory exploration
Gross motor skills and coordination
