Colourful Art Activities for Schools
Get your students creating, learning, and having fun with Crock A Doodle! Plan a hands-on creative classroom activity making personalized pottery projects and memories to last forever.
With Crock A Doodle, your students can paint and play creating their own hand-painted pottery pieces—one-of-a-kind works of art that will nurture their creativity and build artistic self-esteem. We can facilitate groups of all sizes, big or small, to create an engaging activity that everyone can participate in. We call it “fun art” not fine art – anyone can do it, and everyone should!
Let us help customize an experience that’s right for your students, based on your classroom goals, themes, or lesson plans. Gather your students in our studio, create in your classroom, host a school-wide painting event at your school, or paint anywhere, anytime with a Doodle To Go kit. We provide everything you need to make it easy and fun…the pottery pieces, paints, brushes and supplies, along with instructions. The painted pieces will be professionally glazed and kiln-fired to a brilliant, durable, food-safe finish and available for pick up in approximately one week.
Let us help you create a unique and memorable classroom event, with pottery pieces your students will treasure forever. Take a look at the many school and group options below.
