Introducing: The Art Table by Lauren’s creative corner
Monthly Art Challenges, Creative Inspiration, and Behind-the-Scenes Insights!
Hi friends!
I’m thrilled to introduce you to The Art Table, a newsletter through Substack that will encompass really the heart and soul of Miss Lauren’s Creative Corner.
As a holistic art therapist, art teacher, and missioner working in Kenya, I’ve found that art has a unique ability to connect us — whether it’s nurturing a child’s emotional growth, helping a homeschooling parent introduce creativity, or simply providing a space to express ourselves freely. That’s exactly what The Art Table is all about: a community where we can explore, create, and grow together.
What is The Art Table?
It’s more than just a newsletter. The Art Table is a space for those who believe in the power of art to foster connection, healing, and joy. Whether you’re an elementary school teacher, a crunchy mama homeschooling your little ones, or someone interested in using art for emotional well-being, this is for you. Every month, I’ll be sharing free monthly art challenges designed to inspire both kids and adults to explore their creativity, express their emotions, and develop important social-emotional skills.
These art challenges are perfect for anyone who’s looking for easy-to-follow, meaningful art activities to do with children. Each challenge weaves in elements of art therapy and social-emotional learning (SEL), encouraging participants to not just create but to reflect on their feelings, process their emotions, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. From coloring and drawing prompts to outdoor exploration and photo-based activities, every challenge is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
What Do Free Subscribers Get?
As a free subscriber to The Art Table, you’ll receive monthly art challenges directly in your inbox! Each month will feature 30 days of fun and easy-to-do art activities, perfect for engaging young children in a creative and emotionally fulfilling way. Whether you’re looking for ways to support your child’s self-expression, spark their imagination, or simply introduce some calm mindfulness into your daily routine, these activities are designed with your family in mind.

Why Subscribe?
Art is more than just an activity—it’s a way for children to communicate their feelings, process complex emotions, and develop a strong sense of self. As someone who has worked closely with children, both in educational and therapeutic settings, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful creative expression can be. My goal with The Art Table is to provide you with meaningful content that not only nurtures your child’s creativity but also their emotional development.
For those of you who want to engage more deeply, the paid subscription offers the chance to learn from my experiences working with children in a mission context, offering insights that might inspire your own personal journey. Whether it’s through art therapy techniques, social-emotional learning frameworks, or stories of resilience and hope, my hope is that The Art Table becomes a place of inspiration, growth, and community for you.
