Creative Play with SQUIGGLE KIDS (2-5 years)
Drawing is art and so much more!
Drawing helps children to develop fine motor, visual and memory skills, all of which are part of handwriting. Drawing is itself a communication tool. It also supports the development of speech and early writing. Drawing is a form of play that can be creative, imaginative and fun.
'Creative Play with Squiggle Kids' is an educational team led by paediatric Occupational Therapist, Debbie Isaac. It provides a wonderful opportunity to gently introduce your child to social and educational activities with peers. It's a terrific opportunity to help develop children's confidence, language development and fine motor skills.
Join us for weekly themed sessions where we will enjoy stories, songs, and lots of fun, open-ended art and craft activities! Designed for child and parent/carer to work together.
Activities suit children with a range of drawing abilities and interests. All materials are provided.

The Squiggle Kids Team
Our Squiggle Kids team is Debbie Isaac, Lauren Gardiner, Cass Freney-Mills and Jenni Bird!
We want to inspire families to draw with children and to have the tools to engage and extend children in drawing activities.
Debbie has used drawing at home and in her paediatric occupational therapy practice as a way to engage children in a shared and joyful activity that develops fine motor and visual skills.
Lauren is a children's author. Her interest in drawing stems from a desire to set her children up for a positive start to school.
Cass has two teenage daughters. One daughter, who is dyslexic, found comfort in drawing and creating from a young age. Creating is Cass' happy place too!
Jenni has worked for many years in early intervention and pre-school learning and holds a number of teaching and specialist qualifications. Drawing has always been a key focus in Jenni's work - helping children to express themselves and providing a fun and joyful way for children to extend their creativity, language skills and fine-motor skills.
