Why We Love It

This studio understands that for young children, art is about the process, not the product. They use:

Finger painting and hand prints
Collage with recycled materials
Clay and play-dough sculpting
Nature-based art (leaf printing, flower pressing)
Story-based projects (draw your favourite book character)

Children finish each session with a creation to take home, which always makes the car ride back more interesting.

Our Experience

Our 4-year-old attended the Saturday morning class and absolutely loved it. He came home covered in paint and glitter every week (you’ve been warned!) but the joy on his face was worth every stained shirt.

The drop-in option is a major plus — no long-term commitment needed. Great for trying it out or for irregular schedules.

Tips

Dress for mess — old clothes or an art apron are essential
The Saturday class fills up fast — call ahead to reserve a spot
Birthday parties available — they do creative art birthday sessions too
Parking is available on-site

Our Verdict

4.5 out of 5 — the best art option for children under 7 in the greater Colombo area. The fun-first approach builds creative confidence without any pressure.
