At Place2Be, we believe that art is a creative tool to develop resilience and connect with others.
Through creative expression, children and young people can explore their feelings, identity and relationships.
Creative expression and play are crucial for children’s healthy emotional development. Research in the fields of neuroscience and psychology has found that they play an important role in helping our minds and bodies develop.
By engaging in creative activities, children can be supported to build positive social and emotional connections with others. In this way, creative play can help children learn about themselves, how they relate to others, and the world around them.
Our Art Room team are specialists in using art to support and enhance children and young people’s wellbeing.
These projects offer space to explore a wellbeing theme through creative art activities, stories and conversation. Each project can help children, young people, and adults nurture their relationships together whilst having fun.
You can use the art and crafts activities provided at home or in school with children of different abilities and ages.
