Share your creative play ideas with Earlyarts!

Share the most exciting and inspiring creative activities you use to support children's play and learning and receive 20% off your next order of Earlyarts Creative Play Postcard Sets, PLUS the best ideas could win 35 sets to give away.

We'll publish your ideas on our website along with all the others we receive.

Designed by Earlyarts members and parents, Earlyarts Creative Play Postcard Sets are for distributing to parents and carers to help with creative play. Each card focuses on a different aspect of children's learning and development, and with such familiar activities everyone is happy to have a go. The cards are great as a conversation starter or an advocacy tool for creative play.

One side of each card has lots of ideas for play, and the other side lists four areas of learning and development linked to each activity, helping parents and carers understand why creative play is so important and not just 'messing around'.

These child-oriented ideas act as a stimulus to encourage parents and carers to become more involved in childrens play, with lots of opportunities for the activities to be taken further, in the home or the early years setting.

To claim your 20% off voucher, and be entered into the competition to win 35 sets of Earlyarts Creative Play cards to give away, simply find out more here.

Earlyarts supports professionals to nurture the amazing creative potential of all young children so they can fully engage and achieve in their learning and life. Membership is free for online resources, or buy an annual membership (from £48) to benefit from creative training, networking, resources and leadership coaching.

MANIFESTOS (or, Tell Us What You Really Think)

There's a venerable tradition of artists' manifestos, which always seem to pop up especially at times of great cultural and political change (post WW1 dadaists; them 60s experimenters...) so, given that we are living through times of extraordinary change right now, I thought I'd start a thread for MANIFESTOS RELATING TO MAKING ART FOR CHILDREN.Don't have one?  Nor did I until 24 hours ago, then I decided I'd write one.So get going, and it'd be grand to see them here...See More
