Where nourished by nature, your imaginations can roam free. Like you, we’re hankering after tech-free time for our children to be inspired by nature and get creative.

At .createandplay , we always begin with an idea… but never an expectation ✨

This session was all about print and turtles 🐢
Same materials, same starting point, but every outcome completely different.

Some children followed the theme, exploring pattern and texture to create their own turtles. Others took the materials somewhere entirely their own… including a brilliant surprise ninja 🥷

We love supporting both.

Because creativity isn’t about getting it "right," it’s about feeling confident enough to follow your own ideas 💛

A few highlights from our **Jan / Feb term** at **.createandplay** Preschool Art classes ✨🎨

Each craft was carefully curated and inspired by the gentle emergence of spring, as well as the wonderful **RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch**. 🐦🌱

We loved seeing little hands creating, exploring and bringing nature-inspired ideas to life through playful making and imaginative art.

We had such a lovely morning at our monthly Family Art Workshop, creating the sweetest little bumblebees 🐝✨

With spring just around the corner, we can’t wait to see these friendly insects buzzing about and collecting nectar in the sunshine.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, these sessions are about so much more than crafting. They’re a chance to connect, support one another, and share a little love. 💛

Let’s keep spreading it this February, the month of love!

With love,
