Welcome to
"Exploring Emotions Through Art"
Three FREE sample activities from my comprehensive course, "Together We Create: A Shared Journey in Creative Arts Therapy."
These activities are designed to help you and your child navigate the complex world of emotions through the therapeutic power of art.
Ideal for kids aged 5 to 12 years.
Creative Arts Therapy uses the process of making art to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which can be challenging for children, Creative Arts Therapy allows them to express their feelings in a safe, non-verbal way.
These sample activities offer a glimpse into the full course, providing practical activities to start your journey.

Why choose Exploring Emotions Through Art:
