A NEW and exciting programme of creative classes, to support parents and carers with babies and toddlers, has been launched in Bexhill.
Hands-on creative workshops have been developed by The Creation Station to enable parents to share, develop and discover experiences with their child.
This term’s’ programme called Shimmy Shapes has been created in line with the early years and foundation stage to nurture parenting skills and to develop essential bonds.
The fun and practical weekly classes provide a range of art and craft activities and include ideas and tips to continue the play ideas at home.
The classes are based on fostering a child’s own natural curiosity to develop a love of learning through shared hands-on creative fun.
The Baby Discover classes have been designed for babies aged six months to 17 months and the Little Explorer classes are for toddlers aged 17 months to five years of age.
Activities include exploring painting, printing, clay, matching shapes, exploring colours and making dancing puppets.
Laura Barker, owner of The Creation Station Bexhill and Little Common, said: “I’m really excited about launching classes in Bexhill and helping children in our local area to express themselves through a wonderful range of engaging art activities, while at the same time supporting parents and carers in learning new creative skills to support their child’s creative development.
“In addition to this both children and adults will be having lots of fun and making new friends too.
“Classes are designed to inspire children, develop skills and support their emotional well-being. This term, our Shimmer Shapes theme will inspire many little creative minds.
Laura, a mum-of-two and former primary school teacher, is leading the weekly, term-time programme for youngsters and their parents/carers at St Michael’s Church Hall on Mondays and Thursdays.
