Broken Crayons + Fine Motor Skills

At the Art Table, self-awareness blooms in the quiet moments of creating. Through painting, drawing, and exploring emotions, kids learn to understand their feelings and build confidence in their unique voice. By gently guiding them to reflect on their art and emotions, we create a safe space for children to discover themselves and embrace the beauty of their journey. Self-awareness isn’t just a skill—it’s a gift that empowers children to navigate the world with resilience and compassion, one brushstroke at a time.

Creating Art has a remarkable way of helping children process and heal from trauma, and one of my favorite empowering activities is creating a mirror that celebrates their unique qualities! Children who have experienced trauma often struggle with feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, or distrust. Building confidence is essential for these children, as it helps them regain a sense of control and self-worth!
