Explore a world of colour.

This gallery is part of The Experiential Colour Workshop for Babies by Kruunupää Centre for Children's Culture (Finland).

Babies exploring colour, light and texture through touch and play, gently guided by trained visual arts professionals.

Developed in Pori, Finland in 2003, the workshop uses only baby-safe materials and creates a calm, sensory environment where very young children can express themselves visually and connect with other babies, artists and their parents and carers.

You can find out more about the workshops here.

Thank you to Kruunupää Centre for Children's Culture for the videos and photos! Find out more about the company here.
