Listen to the Children’s Art Factory founder Melissa Mazar as she talks about the studio’s philosophy and approach to play. This video was filmed in our old space but you’ll recognize many of the same stations and activities. The essence of what art is, is play! #childrensartfactory #guelphlife #kidsatplay #guelphbusiness #artstudio #artisplay #playbasedlearning #processoverproduct #guelphlocal #guelphlocalbusiness #staylocal #supportsmallbusiness #cityofguelph #downtownguelph #kidsatplay #processart #imaginativeplay #kidsart #invitationtocreate #earlyyears #happykids #playfulparenting #invitationtoplay #canigoplay #makemess #messyart #sensoryplay #childdevelopment

LITTLEST WRITERS CLUB - This Sunday November 29th! Register online. 4-6 year olds 12:30-2:00 and 7-9 year olds 2:30-4:00. $30. At The Littlest Writers Club with Libby, early literacy skill-building is secretly disguised in fun game-based sessions that build confidence in your little writer. The Littlest Writers Club aims to ignite a love of writing early on, with an approach that is as playful as the CAF’s approach to art. It’s designed to encourage little ones who have a bit of difficulty, as well as children who write with ease. #literacy #writing #creativewriting #artfactory #thechildrensartfactory #guelph #guelphlife #guelphontario #downtownguelph #guelphevents #kidswhowrite #localwriters #guelphwriters #kidsprograms #literacymatters #littlelearners
