Present Making - The Art of Gratitude

Join us for a school holiday workshop full of arty adventures designed to delight. Children will play with clay, paint and printmaking to explore and get creative and complete at least three projects. This will be a fun, creative day that will keep your kids engaged for the whole day.  While they are developing their fine motor skills, they will discover that working with natural materials requires patience and persistence.  We will explore the different emotions that come with learning. This workshop will develop your children’s creativity and perseverance skills that will support learning in other parts of their life.  Each child will bring home a worksheet that will give you strategies to help support their emotions so that you have a guide for how to help your child without taking over. Important note about NEW Floreat Forum Shopping Centre venue:  Please note, this is not in an open area of the shopping centre but a secure pop up shop in Floreat Forum. Children will be supervised at all times. 

Our two day kids art class, Mistake Maker Camp workshop is our signature school holiday programs. In our school holiday workshop explore mistake making. They will learn how to deal with mistakes and face worries with confidence and a growth mindset. In our Mistake Maker camp kids will explore the art of being and thinking like a Mistake Maker through:

• creating three “make-something-great-from-a-mistake” art projects;
• learning strategies to think with a growth mindset and react with confidence and resilience when mistakes happen;
• learning about famous Mistake Makers in history; and

They will let their creativity flow as they complete artsy activities of Zen tangling, painting, drawing to scale, calming colouring in, weaving and clay sculpting. Your child will be surprised by how much they can achieve through thinking and behaving with a growth mindset. Not only will your child learn some new art skills, they will also learn resilience and mindfulness techniques and receive our BAT and Wizzy Dizzy to help manage their emotions when BIG emotions strike. Please note, this is not an overnight camp. Children come for each day between 9-3.30pm. You can also purchase our NEW Calm Corner Kit with your ticket and we will have it ready for you to pick up free at the workshop.

Is your child aged 6 or older ready to take on the school year with confidence and courage? Join our dynamic workshop to help develop these life skills. "Ready Set School," is designed to help children understand their feelings and emotions. We'll provide practical strategies to manage and embrace these emotions, teaching them the importance of self-awareness. Building Confidence: We'll empower kids by helping them identify their strengths and fostering positive self-talk, building a strong sense of self-worth. What Can I Do When...: With real-life scenarios, children will develop problem-solving skills to tackle challenges head-on. Setting School-Ready Goals: Each child will set a personal school-ready goal. Art and Play Activities: No dull lectures! Instead, your child will dive into our engaging and interactive approach, where they'll explore through fun activities like clay sculpting and journal creation. These activities not only allow children to express their emotions but also enable them to put the strategies they learn into action. Plus, the creations they make will serve as lasting reminders of the valuable messages they take away from the workshop, even after the clay has dried. Join us at "Ready Set School" to ensure your child's school adventure is marked by confidence and courage.
