The Cookie-Cutter Craft Detox

A Process Art Course for Early Childhood Educators

This self-paced process art course is for early childhood educators and preschool teachers who are ready to move past templated crafts. You will learn how to set up open-ended art experiences that children lead, using real materials and simple tests you can use the same day. Rooted in early childhood research and 55+ years of studio practice at The Artful Child.

Process art vs. crafts in preschool

A craft has one correct outcome. Process art has many. When children choose how to use the materials, they practise decision making, problem solving and focus. This course shows you how to make that shift in your room without adding cost or prep time.
