🎨 Loops and Lines - Exploring Prewriting Through Artful Movement and Texture
(Ages 3–6) Hosted by Friendship in the Feld
Join us for a creative and hands-on workshop designed to support school readiness and prewriting skills through the joy of yarn painting!
In this playful session, children ages 3 to 6 will explore painting in a new and exciting way—using yarn as a brush! This process naturally engages both hands, building fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and bilateral integration—all foundational for writing and empowering independence.
We'll begin with a read-aloud story to spark imagination and connect the activity to language and literacy. Through art and play, we aim to foster connection and friendship through shared creative experiences in a warm, welcoming space.
While creating their own colorful masterpieces, children will also:
🎨 Develop creativity and self-expression
🧠 Strengthen problem-solving and critical thinking
👐 Experience a rich sensory activity that supports focus and emotional regulation
🔄 Learn through cause and effect as they experiment with materials
☕ Grown-Up Time:
Caregivers are invited to stay for each session, sip on coffee, and connect with other parents in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
👥 More than one child interested in joining? With the purchase of a full-priced ticket, you can get 10€ off up to 2 sibling tickets each. Please select a 'Sibling Admission' in addition to a 'General Admission' ticket when purchasing for siblings.
This workshop is more than just art—it’s purposeful play that builds essential early learning skills in a fun, relaxed environment.
Looking forward to growing with you!
Further information: We will provide all craft and sensory materials as well as a caring and nurturing environment for safe and supported learning. We suggest you feed your child a small snack before the session, but will have some dry goods (rice crackers, raisins) on site just in case. We will also be providing coffee and tea for caregivers to enjoy while their children learn. We ask parents stay on site in case their child is struggling to join or having big feelings, but otherwise we invite adults in attendance to sit back, relax, and meet other parents. There is a toilet available for patrons but no changing table.
