What Makes Our Holiday Program Different

Most holiday programs keep kids busy. Ours keeps them learning. Every session is guided by our experienced art educators with a real focus on technique, creativity and self-expression.

🎨

Structured Art Learning

Every session has a planned project with real techniques — not just free play with craft supplies.

👥

Small Group Sizes

Intimate groups so every child gets individual attention and guidance from our educators.

📅

We Run All Year Round

Mini Ivy never takes a break. We run every week of every school holiday period, all year long.

🏠

Take Everything Home

Children leave with all their finished artwork at the end of every session. No waiting, no extra fees.

What a Holiday Program Day Looks Like

The Masterpiece Bundle gives your child four guided art sessions across a full day — each one a different medium and a different creative challenge.

👋
Morning arrival

Welcome & Settle In

Drop your child off and we'll get them settled into the studio, introduce the day's projects, and get creative energy flowing.

🎨
Session 1 & 2

Morning Art Projects

Two guided art sessions — each with a different medium like painting and mixed media. Structured techniques with room for self-expression.

🍞
Midday

Snack Break

Time to refuel with a snack from home, rest, and chat about their creations so far. Nut-free snacks please.

✏️
Session 3 & 4

Afternoon Art Projects

Two more sessions exploring different mediums — sculpture, collage, or drawing. Fresh projects, fresh techniques.

End of day

Showcase & Pick-Up

Children present their favourite piece from the day. Pack up all four artworks and head home with a day's worth of creativity.

What They'll Create

Each holiday program day covers four different art mediums so your child gets a well-rounded creative experience.

🎨

Painting

Acrylics and watercolours with guided techniques — colour mixing, brushwork, and composition.

✂️

Mixed Media

Combining materials like paper, fabric, paint and found objects to create layered, textured artwork.

🧱

Sculpture

3D creations using clay, wire, recycled materials and more. Building spatial awareness and fine motor skills.

🖼️

Collage

Cutting, layering and arranging shapes and textures to tell a visual story. Great for developing design thinking.

Why Parents Love Our Holiday Program

School holidays can be stressful for parents. Mini Ivy takes the pressure off while giving your child something genuinely enriching to do.

💫

Keeps Kids Truly Engaged

Four different art projects in one day means there's no chance to get bored. Kids stay focused, creative and excited all day long.

🎓

Real Skills, Not Just Fun

Every session builds technique — fine motor skills, colour theory, spatial awareness and creative problem-solving. Art education with real outcomes.

😌

Takes the Stress Out of Holidays

No more scrambling for things to do in the school holidays in Adelaide. Drop off in the morning, pick up at the end of the day with a child full of stories about what they created.

School Holiday Program FAQ

Everything you need to know before booking your child's holiday art experience.

Mini Ivy runs all year round — every single week, including every school holiday period. We never take breaks. Whether it's the April holidays, July break, September or the long summer holidays, there are always sessions available at both our Torrensville and Payneham studios in Adelaide.
Our school holiday art programs are designed for children aged 3 to 6. Each session is structured to suit this developmental stage, with age-appropriate techniques and projects that challenge without overwhelming.
Just dress your child in clothes you're happy to get a little paint on — we skip the smocks and get straight into creating. All art materials are provided. You may wish to bring a water bottle and a small nut-free snack for the break.
Food is not provided. There is a dedicated snack break built into the day where children can eat something they've brought from home. Please pack something small and nut-free.
Drop your child off at the start of the day and pick them up at the end. We ask that a parent or guardian remains contactable throughout the day. For the first visit, we recommend arriving a few minutes early so your child can get settled in comfortably.
We recommend booking early as our small group sizes mean spots fill quickly, especially during the busy holiday periods. You can book online for either our Torrensville or Payneham location. There's no lock-in — just book when it suits you.
Absolutely! The holiday program is a wonderful way to try Mini Ivy for the first time. No prior experience is needed. Our educators are experienced at helping new children feel welcome and comfortable from the moment they arrive.
