What is it?
Join us for little artist's playtime - Messy is fun at DIB DAB!
Each class is carefully structured to allow your baby the opportunities needed to discover the world through creative exploration.
We encourage babies to learn and discover the world through creative play, and we are happy to clear up the mess afterwards.
Class Flow
Our classes have a weekly theme underpinned with early years learning. We look at colours, numbers, phonics and lots more.
Each 35-minute class begins with our Dib Dab Welcome song, where babies shake musical instruments and clap along.
Then we dive into creative fun with paint, allowing your baby to explore and play with colours freely. In the middle of the class, we work on a simple art project, giving you and your baby quality bonding time.
We end with a relaxing story before we shake out our goodbye with a song and a rattle!

We are currently teamed up with Pizza Express to bring you and your pre-schooler a new experience in a children's Art Classes.
A perfect mix of creativity and fun blending hands-on art activities with a tasty lunch at Pizza Express.
Class Flow
The class is carefully developed and structured to engage your child with just the right balance of painting art, structured fine motor skill crafting, and chill out story-time.
Every week our class is underpinned with an educational theme, and we also look at numbers, letters, colours and counting.
There is an “art gallery” at the end of class to build self confidence and social skills, and every child takes home a piece of art they are really proud of.
Spend quality time with your child in a creative space, and then stay for a social lunch.

This class is inspired by great artists and includes lots of exploratory and collaborative work. We look at art from different cultures and also how to express ourselves through textural and expressive art.

Operating across multiple schools in Surrey, Dib Dab After School Clubs offer a vibrant, creative space where children can unwind, connect with peers and express themselves through art after the school day.
Children return year on year and we have had the pleasure of teaching children from 4-13. There are always new lessons and our curriculum is rarely repeated.
Class Flow
Every term we focus on Portraiture, Still life, Design, Landscapes, Model making and more. Lessons are underpinned with learning about artists, past and present.
Each child gets to experiment with a range of mediums; from graphite and pastels to watercolours, acrylics and clay. Some projects progress over several weeks and some for just a lesson. We understand the creative process and the need to keep the pace fluid.
Our after school clubs offer the perfect environment for your child to learn, create and grow in confidence.
