About

This Little Artists session is held during October half term and welcome siblings up to the age of 7.

Please note that activities are still focused around kids age 1-5, but friends and siblings are welcome to participate.

Discover the Laing with your little ones and support their early development in a fun and relaxed way.

Each session involves a warm up with movement and motion, gallery exploration with fun interactive activities, a practical art activity with various materials. The session concludes with a snack and story time, which is included in the ticket price. 

  • This activity aims to be fully inclusive and anyone with additional needs is welcome.  
  • Please wear clothing suitable for messy play. You may like to consider bringing a spare change of clothing.
  • If you'd like to have an informal conversation with a tutor or member of the team before booking please email learning@laingartgallery.org.uk
