What they don't mention following on from this point is boredom.

Being bored is sooo important! Learning to be with 'just' you and your own thoughts is invaluable. It leads to ideas and action you might not otherwise have thought of or given yourself time for.

Let kids be BORED!!! Let them have tech free downtime, let them moan they have nothing to do - they'll soon find something or learn the skill of how to!

Because Google is more succinct in explaining, here's a quick info grab of why being bored is important...

Activates the Default Mode Network: When you aren't consuming new information, your brain turns its focus inward, freeing you to jump between concepts and make lateral connections you'd otherwise miss.

Encourages Daydreaming: Daydreaming allows your brain to relax its normal filters, opening up space for wonder and novel perspectives.

Acts as a Catalyst for Action: Psychologists view boredom as an emotion that motivates us to seek out new experiences and change.

I'm up early to fit a missed gym session in before Saturday morning art club and see this post from Kerry @ Parkers Books , 🫶🥰 what a lovely way to start my day, thank you for your kind words and Im so glad parker is still choosing to come and join us every weekend!! ❤️

Parker is going to a party today so unfortunately will be missing his Saturday Art Club so I thought in his absence I would give Let's Create Art Club a shout out!

Parker has been going to art club for five years and he still loves to go! Particularly on a Saturday when it is completely child led so he can choose to do whatever he likes! He often just does his little drawings but he really enjoys spending time there 🥰

This is all down to Rachel who has created such a wonderful environment for children to experiment, explore and create in a pressure and outcome free environment and all whilst being themselves! It's no surprise it has become such a success and continues to grow 🥰

Walking to and from art club has become a lovely staple for our Saturday mornings where we chat and spend some lovely quality time together and Parker spends time away from screens getting out in the fresh air and doing some art ❤️ Perfect!!

Highly recommend popping over and seeing what clubs are available, there are lots in many schools across Swindon, plus art camp in the holidays and Saturday Art Camp ☺️

Foil sculptures in Lawn Primary and Nursery School were a lot of fun today, tricky to get to grips with so lots of experimenting and probplem solving was taking place🩶! Watercolour painting and poster painting canvases were todays art activities in Peatmoor Community Primary School and Catherine Wayte Primary School

We are full in Catherine Wayte but have a few spaces left in Lawn and Peatmoor if you would like your child to join us 😊 (after-school clubs are for the children who attend said school)

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT!

✨ Let’s Create Artist Spotlight of the Month! ✨

As you know we believe creativity is about so much more than creating a “perfect” piece of art. It’s about exploring ideas, experimenting with materials, building confidence, and expressing yourself freely 🎨

That’s why each month we’ll be celebrating one of our young artists with our Artist Spotlight award! 🌟

This recognition isn’t about being the “best artist” – instead, it celebrates children who have shown something special in our sessions, such as:

🖌️ Creative thinking
🌈 Trying new ideas or materials
💡 Imagination and originality
⭐ Effort and perseverance
🤝 Kindness and encouragement towards others

Express. Explore. Experiment!

Congratulations to... Rosey!

Rosey is always super happy and smiling when she comes into art club, always positive and excited to know what we are doing each week! Rosey always puts in 100% effect and has a fantastic imagination she is very creative with all her art work. Rosey gets stuck into everything at both after school club and holiday camp and her clay creations are amazing, so much effort and detail. It's a pleasure to have Rosey in club and camp with us and congratulations for being featured as our May Artist in the spotlight!🎉👏
