Thursday Sessions
For 5 to 8 years
Thursdays are gentle, playful sessions where younger children explore emotional literacy, self‑care, and their place within family life. Through stories, art, and guided play, they learn simple ways to understand their feelings and navigate the wider world with awareness. These afternoons are nurturing, imaginative, and designed to help children feel safe, seen, and connected.

Program Structure
At Life Craft learning is experiential. Thursdays begin in circle with an introduction to the day. We move easily between art, play and reflection time. Children explore themes of self, family, friends and nature through creative self expression.
What’s Included
All creative materials are provided. Sessions are led by warm, attentive professionally trained facilitators who nurture 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 5–8, this program is perfect for young ones just beginning to interface with the world outside of home. It’s imaginative, playful and nurturing.
● 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.
