You and your child will explore creativity together, and share and develop ideas. You’ll be helping with your child’s development in fine motor skills, hand- and eye-co-ordination, imagination and communication… while having a lot of interactive fun together. Please Note: the WEA is an adult education provider, and as such we cannot run online workshops involving your children. So we will run workshops with you, where you will learn the skills to take back to your children, to practise between sessions. The next session will include time for your feedback - how did you get on, working with your child?
