Scribblers art classes are so much fun!

In our very own children's art studio, we will draw, paint, cut, paste, thread, stamp, print, model with clay, and lots more. In a class you could see us flying, slithering or stomping, then painting, making a mask or threading beads onto a caterpillar.

This class is for children after they have turned 2 years of age, right up until children are 5 years of age (but have not yet started school). When children turn 3.5 years, they also have the option of joining our Zoomers Art class, where students attend without their grown up in the class with them. 

Scribblers is part of the Australian designed Art program that introduces children to media, tools and experiences in the visual arts. We use stories, games and role play to complement the term’s theme and to provide a stimulating interactive setting.

Progressively and intentionally builds skills in an environment of guided experimentation, encouragement and play.

Our Saturday Scribblers class is run as a Scribblers / Zoomers combined class, due to the fact we have no Zoomers class running on the weekend. Children 5 years (but not yet at school) are welcome to join our Saturday program.

All art classes at Flying Fox Studios run in 8 week terms, with a break over the school holidays between each term. Please find all our term dates listed here.

What to expect when attending a Scribblers class?

Typically young children are experiencing new things every day. They are learning to master skills of all kinds as they learn to "do it myself". A scribblers class is a great mix of allowing space for children learn to complete tasks on their own, and keeping their adult close at hand should they need a bit of hands on assistance.

Scribblers classes include lots of art, craft, painting, stamping, drawing, sensory exploration, story telling, games, imagination, creativity and hands on fun.

Each week the class will begin with an exploration time, with a prop for students to touch and feel. This will set the scene for our lesson before we move to our 'messy' task at our art tables.  Paint, colour and mixing time! Following our wet and messy activity, we also include a story time and a craft exploration. Cutting, sticking, threading, stamping and plenty of craft to take home.

A Scribblers class gives a platform for meaningful language development and a conversation between the child and their adult. New words are learned and new experiences are had each and every week.

How many children in a Scribblers class? Scribblers offers up to 8 regular spots in a class each term. Classes may also occasionally have up to 2 extra students attending as a make up lesson from another day.

Can I bring a younger sibling? We welcome siblings in all our classes at Flying Fox Studios in age groups that have adults attend with a child. Please keep in mind that our art classroom will have toddler accessible items such as floor level hand washing water, paints, scissors etc that are out and accessible for students in class to access.

Term 1 2025 Unit
Theme: Hide and Seek

This term, we're setting off on a hide-and-seek adventure made just for little artists!

We'll explore hidden treasures big and small while experimenting with painting, drawing, stamping, printing, cutting, pasting, sculpting with clay, and collaging.

We'll investigate camouflage, hunt for mini beasts, search for tiny seeds that grow into huge trees and even go on a treasure hunt!

With lots of stories, sensory play, colour mixing, and messy fun, we'll explore, imagine, and create exciting art together every step of the way!

At Flying Fox Studios we offer a free trial lesson for all our term classes (Kindermusik, Art for Kids, & Fox Blocks). Click HERE for more information about booking trial class.
