We bring you award winning ARTS, CRAFTS and CREATIVE PLAY sessions, to Wakefield, Dewsbury and Batley.
At ARTventurers our mission is simple – to INSPIRE and ENCOURAGE children of all ages and their parents and carers to have lots of COLOURFUL, CREATIVE FUN.
We are passionate about children getting involved in art activities from an early age and our weekly baby classes start from just 6 months old! Each week we have a different theme from Exploring Space to Animal Jungle Fun. There’s SINGING, DANCING and best of all, the little ARTISTS make CREATIVE MASTERPIECES, which the get to take home. Not to mention the amazing MEMORIES they will create.
All our activities for our preschool sessions are carefully planned to support Early Learning Goals and in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage. The benefits of getting children involved in art are numerous in terms of coordination, motor skills development, social interaction and creative development.

We also offer PARTIES, holiday WORKSHOPS for older children and holiday sessions for the whole FAMILY to enjoy.
At ARTventurers, we LOVE getting children involved in art at an early age – which is why our classes are specially designed for the little artists aged 6 months plus. Art has SO many benefits – from squishing and squidging in paint to explore colours and textures, learning about the world around us, developing fine and gross motor skills, making friends and building confidence.
The aim of all of the ARTventurers sessions is to nurture and develop a child’s creativity by providing them with the opportunities, guidance, inspiration and materials to explore, experiment and express themselves through a range of colourful art and creative activities. PLUS all of our activities and sessions for preschool age children are carefully planned to support the Early Learning goals and in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
All children are individual and the free flow element of our ARTventurers classes recognises this – all of the children can explore and create at their own pace and in their own time. A jam packed session of colourful, creative (and often messy) fun!!
I’d love for you and your little one to join us!

9 months – 2 years is the age range we see our little ones develop from sitting to crawling to walking, babbling away in their own language.
In these sessions we aim to build the confidence of each individual, develop motor skills and coordination and hopefully build on their love of music and dancing – we use a variety of different resources, instruments and visual aids to keep their attention (and give the grown ups a bit of a work out too).
