Creative and Sensory Play

SELF EXPRESSION THROUGH ART 

All children thrive in an environment which allows them to express themselves freely and safely. The activities provided for children take this into consideration. Throughout the month of March the children have taken part in a wide range of Art Sessions which has given them the opportunity to explore their mark making freely with a range of tools and materials.

Through supporting children to explore and express themselves independently through art they will develop the following:

  • Their confidence 

  • Their curiosity

  • Fine and Gross motor skills

  • Their Creativity
