Explore a world of colour.

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

Discover the magic of early creativity in our online exhibition, featuring images captured during The Colour Workshop for Babies, part of Playground Festival 2026.

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.
