A summary

We will deliver a creative play session where children can take part in a range of arts, crafts and imaginative activities, with opportunities for free play built into the session. Activities may include drawing, painting, themed crafts, group challenges and creative projects in a relaxed and supportive environment.

The creative activities will encourage imagination, self-expression and problem-solving, while giving children the opportunity to explore different materials, try new techniques and develop confidence in their own ideas. Children will be supported to make choices, follow simple instructions, work independently and collaborate with others.

The free play element will give children space to explore, interact with peers and build friendships in a less structured way. Overall, the session will help children develop confidence, communication, social skills, emotional wellbeing and a sense of achievement, while giving them the chance to try new experiences in a fun and inclusive setting.
