Exploring a whole set of exciting and wonderful creative art projects together. Confidently and independently. Keeping you and your child happy, excited and socially connected.

Start an art movement

As you are at home, you have to be your own master. Help your child participate and complete all lessons. Be her guide. If you think your child is finding it difficult to cope,get her to call our Abrakadoodle teachers. Talk about her difficulty and take the initiative, introduce yourself and your child to the art of building relationships.

Create an art corner

Create a dedicated space for learning art. This can be anywhere in your home: the kitchen table, the study, near the balcony, under the stairs. A dedicated workspace helps your child to stay grounded and organized. Also ensure you have high-speed internet access along with a decent pair of noise cancelling headphones or dialogue enhanced speakers. They help focus, her the teacher clearly, and boost overall online art class experience.

Set a time & stick with it

Not everyone learns the same way or prefers the same timing. Remember, your child is not at a school, but at home. So after you’ve established where your child can sit down comfortably, think about when to schedule the art classes. At Abrakadoodle, we have a great class schedule that might suit your needs. If she likes to study early in the morning, great.  If it is  late evening when she works best, so be it. Help set a time when everything around the house is quiet and calm. Once set, stick to it.

Make time work for you

Being aware of time and a little self-reflection will go a long way to help optimize the time you have on hand. A 45 minute online art class for instance can create an hour or two of learning time. Practicing what was taught online will establish a time frame for doing this activity on a daily basis. This way, both you and your child will know what is on the card every day. Teaching your child to manage her time well will quickly turn into a lifelong habit.

Keep distractions away

TV and other interruptions at home can easily derail your child’s fun art time. Block all apps or websites or programs that tend to compete for her attention. Restrict screen time. In the case of young children, World Health Organisation guidance says those aged 3-4 should only spend a maximum of an hour at a stretch in front of a screen.
