Pottery Classes for Kids in Austin

When children are given the opportunity to use art in their play, as with our pottery classes for kids, multiple things happen at once. First, a child's imagination is engaged. Children are able to explore their wildest imaginings and bring them to life through the materials with which they work. Secondly, pottery classes give kids the opportunity to experiment with problem solving while they attempt to recreate what they have imagined in their minds. Thirdly, as the children learn to develop this new skill they are given the chance to explore their abilities and limitations. This is just a short summary of a few of the benefits at work when a child attends one of Kidcreate Studio - Northwest Austin pottery classes for kids. In fact, there is even more to be gained in one of these classes including the further development of fine and gross motor skills. These skills are enhanced while the children work with their hands shaping their new creation.

At Kidcreate Studio - Northwest Austin, our pottery classes for kids are uniquely beneficial when it comes to sensory play. A child will hold and mold the clay in their hands, noticing whether it is moist or dry, warm or cool. How does it feel to squeeze the clay between one’s fingers? Does the clay have a smell? A color? A texture? All of this sensory experience grounds a child and gives them a sense of security as they come to know and understand their surroundings and the world of which they are a part.

As you can see, the benefits of our pottery classes for kids are far reaching. Kidcreate Studio - Northwest Austin’s classes in art education offer a plethora of possible benefits. On the surface, you will see your child glowing with the joy of creation and play! Beneath that fun, you can be sure, there is so much more at work.
