Tuesday Art Playgroup Start of Term 2 by Antonia Michailidis

The Tuesday Art Playgroup - Start of Term 2 marks the first session of the weekly Term 2 series at Newport Gardens Early Years Centre, designed for toddlers and preschoolers aged 1-5 years with younger siblings welcome for free. Held on 21 April 2026 from 10:00 to 11:00, this single-day event features Nature Play Week activities including painting with leaves, gumnuts, sand, dirt, rocks, sticks, and flowers in a fenced garden or indoors if weather requires. Children engage in open-ended creativity like drawing, stamping, water play, and mess-making without pressure for masterpieces, fostering a love for art and fine motor skills. Parents benefit from a supportive, no-cleanup environment to meet others, with snacks and breastfeeding welcomed in this calm, easy-going space.
