Picture This, 4-5 years (without parents)

Holiday course

Put yourself in the picture and bring to life a favourite picture book story from this year’s National Book Week Shortlist. Use your body and voice in a creative play adventure inspired by the story and grab a taste of NIDA’s creative classes for 2-5 years olds.

What is creative play?

NIDA Creative Play actively engages children and parents in storytelling and artistic practice through voice, movement and dramatic play based activities.

Children are supported by our experienced tutors to:

• Develop self-confidence
• Explore social contexts and group dynamics
• Develop voice and communication skills
• Discover the physical world and cultural landscapes
• Engage their personal creativity and artistry in a fun environment, designed specifically for growing artists and their families.
