Lost in making and imagination. Chill vibes, loads of fun. Each child's creation is as unique as the Master Creative.
Still a few opportunities for your creative to create their way on Thursday. A number of spots in our Clay Play Day (its a morning!) and Very Arty morning on Thursday 16th is nearly full. Anime with Annabel in the afternoon.
Last day of the #perthschoolholidays program for #strengthheroes

And that’s a wrap on the April school holidays🧡
Over the past two weeks we saw lots of busy little Strength Heroes creating and getting busy with our workshops!🎨
A lot of kids found their inner brave these holidays exploring creative processes through a healthy dose of “can do” powering on their growth mindsets! Especially when things weren’t going their way in the moment.
These holidays here at Strength Heroes we have been really curious about what it looks like to become a Boredom Buster!
⭐️Challenging the idea that kids have to be told what to do by adults when they’re bored.
Resilient kids are able to engage their innovative thinking and critical problem solving skills to find their own fun!
Keep an eye out for more tips and tricks around boredom busting and what this looks like for your little Strength Heroes 🧡

While we are busy working on our July #perthschoolholidays program thought we would showcase our recycled Picasso Art project from last holidays.
In our workshop, we do a lot of arranging and exploring with shapes, layers and #recycledmaterials before anyone starts glueing.
What I have learnt about kids and face collage is that guidance in the form of prompt not instruction switches on their Creative Problem Solving Brain🧠
They will naturally go for one layer/one piece of collage to represent all the bits of the face. That's fine but to stretch them I have found that mirrors work well, "What shapes can you see in your nose?" Or challenges like: " Can you combine shapes to make a nose with more than one layer?"
I rarely have examples and I trust that kids can do challenging stuff they have never done before. Just another way we build resileince through art. They need patience and encouragement to trust their ideas.
Recycled art is great for events as well, we have done recycling workshops for Rottnest Island Authority, Rockingham Libraries and more!
Sign up to find out about our July holiday program as soon as the workshops are available, follow us or DM your name and email address and we can add you.

So much to thank Mum for. We joined the community at Holy Rosary Catholic school in Doubleview this week at their #mothersday breakfast.
Kids were invited to make a card with a special message of gratitude. Gratitude goes beyond saying "Happy Mothers Day".
It is telling mum why she is loved and treasured.
It is saying thanks for being there, for her hugs, kindness, dinners, helping with homework etc,etc...
It is acknowleging what she is the best at....
Expressing gratitude is an act of resilience and love.
Receiving gratitude gives us a special shot of warm fuzzy feelings.
Bothe contributes to our mental well-being. #strengthheroes #perthmums #gratitudeattitude
Ever feel like your child has been hijacked by Caveman?
When big emotions take over, the "Brave Brain" goes off-line and the Caveman takes over. In this video I am breaking down what happens in the growing brain and how we can help them find their calm again.
We have 3 simple breathing techniques to help you and your child take the brain together. Tap the link in the bio and look for the latest blog.

49 seconds of Resilience in Action!
What does a growth mindset actually look like? It looks like this!
Our April School Holiday Program was a beautiful, creative whirlwind at The Maker Space at Floreat Foeum. From "Mistake Maker Camp" to "Mini Architect," to "Very Arty Day" we watched kids move from "I can't" to "I wonder what happens if...".
At Strength Heroes, we don't do "copy-cat" art. We provide launchpads for autonomy, where kids use paint, clay, watercolour, textiles and recycled treasures to solve problems, embrace the "joy of mess," and build the internal strength to navigate life's tricky moments.
Every piece of art in this reel represents a child who stayed in the "Stretch Zone" and came out more confident on the other side.
Missed out this time? We are already busy building the July School Holiday schedule! Hit the link in our bio to join the waitlist. 📅

Art Buffet party for a 5 year old. A range of stations finishing with a birthday potions kept all the little ones engaged. Young ones like to wander so this is the perfect set up for them.
Super relaxed mum walked in 5 minutes before the start, put some snacks and drinks out, hung a birthday banner then hung back and had time to catch up with other parents! Too easy!!!
For a "no dread" birthday contact us.

Most kids think their thoughts are facts. Today at Ballajura Community College's, we practiced the art of catching unhelpful thoughts as part of their Highschool experience day.
Kids made made Thought Catchers to take "I am not good at this" and flip it to ""I'm still learning to do this" It's a small shift that builds massive mental muscle.
