Let your child lead the way! Yeah- totally up for it BUT ONLY if they don’t make lots of mess I hear you cry! The importance of Sensory Art Play being a child-led process art LAB is this: babies and toddlers are wonderfully multi-sensory beings who discover the world through all their senses. We need to give them the space to discover and experiment for themselves, to enable confidence to grow through making their own connections and problem solving. We create a space where they freely explore through the building blocks of art and creativity: Sensory Art isn’t just visual art. From the last Sensory Art Play class these are a few things I observed in the babies and toddlers: In a non-toxic messy play space they LISTENED quietly- digging around inside, and pouring crunchy cereal in the play bins. One baby watched it wiggling between their toes when a bit got stuck there. They TOUCHED colour through squidgy paint, their ‘hands on’ colour mixing directly on their bodies, layering on and scraping it off repeatedly. The SOUNDS of splats and traction from cars on the giant mural paper.  Texture investigations a plenty through surfaces of cards, papers, structures- scratched with fingernails, torn up paper balls being rolled around. Patterns growing all over the floor through footprints and rollers.  The parents engaging with their child through copying them: Non-verbal communication before words, through first scribbles, first mark-making, the pre-cursor to writing. I watched a parent and their toddler communicating purely through tearing paper,  creating a rhythm taking it in turns to listen to one another- fast, slow, long and short. Such a beautiful focussed environment- not coercing your child to take part, but in their own time, finding their own rhythm. Excited to start the new term on Tuesday- where we allow growth, slowly over time.  Just ONE spot left! Booking through the website: At @raum_schwalbe , 15:15-16:05.  16:30 class fully booked. 👩‍👦✨👨‍👧#littleartberlin #creativityletloose . . . #lebenmitkindern #kinderkunst #kinderspiel #berlinart #kunstberlin #colourplay #littleartists #berlinmitkind #kleinkinder  #prenzlauerberg #winskiez (at Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany)

Don't interrupt me, I'm busy finding out by myself! It's easy to jump in and show them isn't it? Learning to trust your child is a big topic for us, we encourage parents to see their child as their teacher, learning to experience the world through their eyes. We begin by observing them. Letting their child be free to follow their own curiosity, and as adults, enjoying watching in their creative play, asking them questions as they go. Marvel in their tiny fingers touching paint for the first time, back and forth with paper, card, swirling brushes, stamping potato mashers, fast and slow…wherever they find something that interests them to explore further.  This builds confidence in young kids whilst developing their fine motor skills- beautiful aha! moments in action, just magic!✨ 🌈 #childledart #creativityletloose #reggioinspired . . . #kinderkunst #kinderspiel #berlinart #kunstberlin #freiraum #littleart #littleartists #berlinmitkind #kleinkinder #littleartberlin  #prenzlauerberg #kunstzusammen  #connectwithart  #berlinkids  #artplay  #littleartberlin #kinderkunstkurs #kinderkunstwerkstatt #malortberlin #childrensartstudio #winstrasse #berlinwinskiez #sensoryplay #malenmitkindern #kleinkinder #mamakindzeit #papakindzeit #toddlerartist (at Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany)

Yay for Clay! Such a wonderful real art medium, perfect natural material for kids of all ages from around 1 years. Art for young kids can often be set up purely about flat paper based work, but we also love to build spatial confidence in 3D sculpting and 2D relief work through mark making tools, to scratch and pull the surface, as well as exploring blocks of clay with both hands, feet, for toddlers. Get it wet with a spray bottle and a delightful squelchy sensory material. Combine with sticks, small figurines, wooden pieces, build sculptures , enact daily routines and tell stories. Free play with clay yesterday with 6 & 7 year olds, we found that the kids loved to make small vessels, shape a landscape for example…it starts with poking, rolling and turns into wherever their imagination can take them! 🍁🌟 #kreativkinder #childledart . . . #lebenmitkindern #entdeckenkunst #littleberlin  #kinderkunst #kinderspiel #berlinart #kunstberlin #littleartlab #littleart #littleartists #berlinmitkind #kleinkinder #littleartberlin  #prenzlauerberg #kunstzusammen  #connectwithart  #berlinkids  #senefelderplatz #artplay #reggioinspired #childhoodunplugged #artplay #littleartberlin #kinderkunstkurs #kinderkunstwerkstatt #malortberlin #childrensartstudio #berlinstagram #kinderkunstworkshop #creativityletloose #slowberlin (at Senefelderplatz)

YOU CAN DRAW!! Kids love sticks, right?!  Then they can draw! Sticks in all shapes and sizes are freely available everywhere and can become simply a line going for a walk! Create dots dashes, magical marks, make play spaces, tell stories, awaken earthy sounds dragging in the dirt…doodles, bumps, lines that connect and come alive. Too many times I hear adults, and kids around 5 years + hung up about drawing. A big stick takes away the preciousness of getting it right- no eraser, no precision just moving it, in flow with geometric and organic shapes, wherever you feel like taking it.  And you can run all over it too, adding your feet to the patterns emerging. Tiny or big adventures. Alone or with a friend, in the woods, garden or playground- UP TO YOU, no rules. And then you just lay it back down, ready for the next person to pick it up and see where their lines and marks can take them. Or if you have a toddler you end up taking it home and add it to your growing collection 😂…So, grab a stick stepping in the Spring sunshine, and go! ☀️✍️👇🌱#creativityletloose #drawberlin. . . #lebenmitkindern #stickplay #zweigart #zweig #kinderkunst #kinderspiel #berlinart #kunstberlin #littleart #mylittleartist #berlinmitkind #kreativkind #littleartberlin #kinderzeichnungen #prenzlauerberg #slowfamilyberlin #connectwithart #kreativkinder #berlinkids #artplay #berlinmitte #dirtdrawing #drawing #childsplay #reggioinspired #childledart (at Volkspark am Weinberg)
