“It’s by far the best thing I got to do with my little one! Each week is themed around a story – you get to make the most beautiful pieces of art together and there’s lots of different messy activities set up for them too!”


Classes suitable for Toddlers from 16 months to 3 years…
Our Toddler Explorer classes are for our busiest of Explorers to explore have lots of fun in the Studio!
Each week our Toddler Explorers will be inspired by a favourite picture book as we begin the class reading the book together. We will then create a themed art piece before moving into imaginative and creative play activities. Parents and careers will learn and explore right alongside their little Explorer. Enjoy an engaging class week with your child, leaving the mess and clean-up to us.
*Siblings under 10 months are welcome to join free of charge and can be held or in a carrier during class.
Please do come dressed ready for mess. We recommend wearing messy/old clothes for you and your explorer.

“A great structure of story time, free play, bubbles and making. Such a friendly and enthusiastic team. You can’t go to Arty Explorers without smiling”
“Yorkshire’s (maybe even the worlds) best toddler class!”
“We absolutely love Arty Explorers! My son has a wonderful time each week. The stories they choose are fab and we often end up reading the stories again or buying the books after a session! The class leaders are so lovely and helpful. Thanks we love it!!!”
“We were so lucky to have got a place on Arty Explorers back in December – and while we may have had to wait 4 months for classes to start, it was more than worth the wait! We loved it, mess and all!”
