Sensory Art Adventure -Children's Holiday Art Workshop

Sensory Art Adventure – School Holiday Art Workshop - 6–10 years

Sensory Adventure is a fun, hands-on 2-hour workshop where children squish, swirl, roll, and create while exploring their senses. Through activities like slime making, colourful marble artwork, and playful sensory exploration, children engage their sense of touch, sight, movement, and coordination in a joyful and relaxed way.

Sensory play supports emotional regulation, focus, body awareness, and calming the nervous system. It helps children learn how their bodies respond to different textures, movements, and sensations, building self-awareness, confidence, and resilience. These experiences are especially valuable during key developmental years.

The workshop encourages curiosity, creativity, and social connection in a safe and supportive environment. Children are guided at their own pace and encouraged to explore, experiment, and have fun without pressure.

By the end of the session, children will take home their creations, along with a sense of achievement, enjoyment, and increased sensory awareness.

What to bring:
• Water bottle
• Light snack
• Art smock or clothes that can get messy

All materials are provided. No experience needed — just a willingness to have fun.
