Innovative programs and resources to lift children’s learning and development through drawing
We aim to promote shared and group drawing as a learning and development tool for young children, particularly for communication, language and social skills.
Drawing is a rich educational and expressive activity for children. Drawing, especially drawing together with an adult or in groups, builds children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills.

Our programs
Programs For Children
We run playful and inspiring drawing sessions with groups of children. We encourage parents and professionals to join our sessions to build their confidence, knowledge and skills for drawing with children.
Programs For Professionals
We run innovative and energising workshops for early years professionals to build their confidence, knowledge and skills to facilitate drawing in groups of children. Our workshops also help early years professionals develop thoughtful ways to build parent knowledge about drawing and inspire parents to start or extend drawing at home.
Programs For Parents
Our hands-on and interactive workshops for parents build knowledge about the importance of drawing in the early years and provide strategies to help address common barriers to drawing with children at home. We talk about mess, time, kids that are reluctant to draw and more. Parents will leave with ideas and a goodie bag – with novel materials, activities and tools!
