A Day at Life Craft

Tuesdays and Thursdays offer a full day of creative arts activities designed to nurture emotional literacy through hands-on expression and playful exploration. Each term follows a guiding theme, but the curriculum stays responsive - shaped by the needs, voices, and rhythms of the children themselves

Program Structure

At Life Craft learning is experiential. Topics of learning for life are age appropriate and woven into our activities with care and thought. We complete one to two art/craft activities per day as well as plenty of time playing and simply being.  

What’s Included

All creative materials are provided. Sessions are led by a professionally trained art therapist who nurtures curiosity and emotional expression. Parents must provide lunch, snacks, water and sun protection.

Session Lengths

Thursday sessions run weekly throughout the Queensland school terms, and last for five and a half hours (9:30-3pm) allowing space for gentle guidance, open play, and shared reflection.

Age Groups

For ages 7–10, these sessions are perfect for growing confidence, exploring creativity, and learning to navigate the world of emotions we face in life. Tuesdays and Thursdays’ curriculum focusses on friendships, understanding our physical and emotional bodies, and positive coping.

● Life Craft Philosophy

Our Approach

Between paintbrushes and laughter, stories and stillness, something special unfolds. Children form friendships, find new ways to express themselves, and begin to see learning as a joyful, living process. These are the moments that stay with them long after the session ends.
