Sound Around 2-3 years (with parents)

Holiday course

Shhh... listen very closely, what can you hear? Discover the world around us through story, sound and song. Use your voice and your body to create soundscapes inspired by a popular children’s storybook in this exciting introduction to NIDA Creative Play.

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 and their parents 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 artist and their families.

Parents and siblings in class

• One parent is asked to actively participate in this class with their child.
• Siblings and babies are not able to sit in on classes.
• The NIDA tutor is there to creatively coach, guide and inspire your child. If your child is upset or having difficulty focussing through a class, please help them to focus and participate in group activities. You are welcome to take your child outside the classroom if they need some time and space away from the group.
