Hi, I'm Caitlin
I'm a mum of two little ones, and I started Mini Art Play so kids can get all the goodness of art, without the set-up and clean-up at home.

Why I started Mini Art Play
I have two young kids myself, and I know how much good art and creative play does for them. I also know the reality: twenty minutes setting up paint at the kitchen table, five minutes of painting, then forty minutes cleaning paint off the floor, the walls and the child.
So I created the space I wanted for my own kids. Everything is set up and ready, there's room to explore without worrying about the mess, and when the hour is up, you walk out the door and I do the clean-up.
When you book, you choose whether your child can be photographed: with their face, hands and artwork only, or not at all. I always follow what you choose.
Why process art
At this age, the making matters far more than the finished piece. When a toddler mixes colours, presses flowers with a hammer or pastes tissue paper onto cardboard, they're building fine motor skills, language and confidence all at once.
There are no templates to get "right". Children choose what interests them and explore it their own way, so every child ends up somewhere different.

The easiest way to meet us is at a class. Book a casual spot, or ask about a trial.
