What your child’s day will look like

Welcome to Messy Art Lab’s MESSY MINIS! Each week, little artists will embark on a creative adventure, freely exploring a variety of engaging stations at their own pace. From handmade play dough to colorful sensory bins and open-ended art stations, this is a space for children to follow their curiosity, experiment with materials, and engage in hands-on discovery. Messy play encouraged—squish, splash, mix, and create! A Child-Led Experience * Follow your child's lead—step back, observe, and let them take the reins! There is no "right" way to explore, only endless possibilities. The focus is on the process, not the final product. *Parents, if a nanny or grandparent will be accompanying your child, please take a moment to share the Messy Art Lab approach. Class Guidelines * Dress for mess—comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little (or a lot!) messy. *One adult per child to ensure a relaxed and spacious environment. What This Experience Offers Through sensory-rich, child-led exploration, your little one will naturally develop: *Creativity & Imagination * Fine & Gross Motor Skills * Language & Social Skills *Problem-Solving & Cognitive Growth Our Free-Flowing Exploration Schedule *Welcome Time! – Settle in and get ready to explore! *Discovery Time!– Move freely between stations—play, create, and investigate at your own pace. *Tidy-Up Time! – A gentle transition as we care for our creative space. * Bubbles & Boogie– Dance, pop bubbles, and enjoy rhythmic fun together. Please note, this class does not include a main activity but each week, we will aim to introduce a recipe station.
