You might have noticed that it’s been a bit quiet on here. That’s because we’re patiently waiting for the arrival of our bundle of joy, due later this month 👶🏻 👣

I finished off weekly classes just before the February break and want to say a huge thanks to all of my customers and creative kids who came along with gifts, cards, hugs, and kind words.

I’m looking forward to welcoming our little one into the world and I can’t wait to spend quality time with my family. But, don’t worry, The Creation Station classes will be back in the community very soon… I’ve got some very exciting sessions planned for when I return from maternity leave. Starting with special Father’s Day classes in June. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for more information 👀.

I will have access to all messaging platforms and emails during maternity leave, however, I kindly ask for your patience during this time as replies may be slower than usual.

Thanks, Heather 🎨⭐️

For the final week of term our Little Explorer and Baby Discover classes explored all things cats and dogs 🐾 🐶 🐈‍⬛

We had fun doing a bit of veterinary role play as our creative kids helped some furry friends to feel better with medicine and bandages ⛑ 🩺💉 Then, we painted a big letter C and used different materials to create purr-fect cat faces 🐱

Our Little Explorers also made doggy puppets and had lots of fun taking them a walk and making their tails wag 🐩

What a paw-some way to end this term! Thank you to everyone who has joined us 🎨⭐️

Well done everyone!

I wonder what animal we’ll discover next week…

Our Little Explorers had a ROARSOME time last week 🦖

We made dinosaur tracks by dipping dino feet in to paint and then the boys and girls got their own own feet painted to create awesome ”That’s Not My T-Rex” pictures.

I wonder what animal we’ll discover next…

A question I get asked a lot is 'Creation Station a messy play class?' 🤔

The answer is NO!

YES, we're all about learning through creative play and YES there is some mess involved, but we're an ARTS & CRAFT class with the firm focus on art based activities to encourage children to experiment with different mediums, techniques and developing those fine motor skills.

Our sessions allow children the space to delve into their imaginations and experiment with out their grown ups having to worry about the mess of doing the activities at home. We also provide red splash suits in our Baby Discover and Little Explorers sessions to protect the children's clothing.

With our Baby Discover sessions we help our babies (and their grown ups!) to get involved with paint, for example with some early mark making. The babies experiment with different tools and exploring paint on different textures and create precious first masterpieces to then take home. There’s also a sensory element to every Baby Discover class too!

Our older Little Explorers sessions encourage the children to further develop their skills and learning through lots of different creative and art based activities....plus, in all of our classes we have LOTS of fun along the way too!!

Never been to a Creation Station session? Fancy joining us for our new term starting next week?
