Our sessions are all about sensory exploration, messy art, and uninhibited creativity—perfect for curious little ones and their grown-ups.So roll up those sleeves, ditch perfection, and let’s get gloriously messy together!

About Us

The Tiny Canvas Club was born out of a love for creative chaos and the magic of messy play. Founded with the belief that little ones thrive when they’re free to explore, touch, splash, and squish, we’ve grown into a vibrant community where creativity knows no limits.Since our first splatter of paint hit the canvas, we’ve been passionate about offering hands-on, sensory-rich experiences for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Our sessions are designed to spark imagination, build confidence, and most importantly, bring joy through mess!

In 2025, we proudly launched our first sessions in Laindon, and the response has been incredible. Parents and carers love the freedom our classes offer—and the fact they don’t have to clean up afterwards!We’re now excited to grow our colourful community and welcome more messy-minded creatives to join us. Whether it’s their first finger-paint or they’ve been making messes for a while, there’s always room on our canvas for more creative fun

We created The Tiny Canvas Club as a space where mess is more than just tolerated—it’s celebrated. Watching children light up as they explore the world through colour, texture, and play has been an incredible journey.
