Creative Minds
Helping children explore feelings through creativity.
Our 6-week Creative Wellbeing Group is a gentle, fun and supportive online programme designed to help children aged 7–11 explore their thoughts and feelings through creativity.
Each child receives a Creative Box filled art materials, along with a workbook that they can use during the sessions. Every week, group members will be guided through a different creative activity that supports emotional expression, self-awareness and confidence in a safe, encouraging group environment.
Through art and imagination, children will:
- Learn simple ways to recognise and talk about their feelings
- Build emotional resilience and positive self-esteem
- Develop calming strategies for worries and big emotions
- Connect with others and feel part of a supportive group
Sessions are interactive, playful and age-appropriate, with no pressure to be “good at art”, just bring your imagination. Although the group gives space for sharing and peer support, children are encouraged to share at their own comfort level.
This group is ideal for children who enjoy being creative, looking for emotional support or would like a gentle boost in confidence and wellbeing.
