Expressive Arts in the Early Years

Creativity plays a vital role in the holistic development of young learners. Through music, movement, storytelling, visual arts, drama, and imaginative play, children learn to express emotions, build confidence, communicate ideas, and make sense of the world around them.

This engaging and practical workshop, facilitated by Ms. Priyanka Babbar — Founder and Artistic Director of Small Tales Academy — will help educators explore how expressive arts can become a meaningful part of everyday learning experiences in early years classrooms.

The session focuses on shifting the mindset from “product-focused activities” to creating spaces where children can freely explore, imagine, create, and express themselves through process-based learning experiences.

Educators will discover simple and practical ways to integrate expressive arts into daily classroom routines while nurturing emotional wellbeing, creativity, confidence, and social development in young learners.
