FORREST HILL, NORTH SHORE



Art4kidz offers art lessons with added value! Let your little treasure come and learn to draw, paint, create and explore a journey of fun filled art! What they create is an eternal memory for parents to keep. Watch them improve lesson by lesson! A young mind is beautiful and their personal interpretation is amazing!

Why do kids need art?

As kids manipulate a paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve. By counting pieces and colors, they learn the basics of math. When children experiment with materials, they dabble in science. Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence.

​Children experience a range of art materials, water colour pencils, paint, pastels, felt. Our art is about children teaching basic art skills and improving motor skills, confidence, use of pencil and creativity.

We understand that different children mature at different levels and for this reason we are happy to consider your child if slightly under or over age for the specified age group.

Children need to be confident to be left without parents during the classes. 


Please kindly ensure your child is dropped off and collected on time.
