Art & Play at Home
Resources for raising confident, creative thinkers.
Home is a natural place to nurture and grow creative minds. It’s a safe place where children have all the time they need to explore materials, leave and come back, iterate, build on their ideas, and get into a flow state. This is how real artists work! Our at-home resources are designed to help you create more of these opportunities. Whether you want guided video “art playdates” for your child to watch independently, ready-to-use printable guides, or a deeper understanding of how to choose, organize, and offer materials through our self-paced course, we can help you build the conditions for creativity. You don’t have to be an art teacher or have a perfectly stocked art space to make any of this happen. You just need an open, flexible mindset and the capacity to see children as capable and full of good ideas.
Art Playdates
Are you just getting started with open-ended materials? We created this guide for educators, caregivers, and homeschool families who are curious about our approach but want a simple, practical way to begin before diving into the full Materials Matter course. Think of it as your first introduction to the materials, mindset, and approach we explore more deeply in the full course.
Materials Matter Course
Our signature self-paced course.
Are you ready to build your entire year around open-ended materials? Before classrooms can become hubs of creativity and agency, educators must first become comfortable with what materials can do and become. As we take a deep dive each month into new materials, you will grow more confident with our guiding principle: art is play and play is learning. Join us for this course and discover a whole-child curriculum rich with materials. Transform your teaching practice and become a confident cultivator of creativity!
