At Chalk N Pencils, we believe in fostering creativity in children through engaging and hands-on art experiences. Clay art is a fantastic way to nurture young minds, offering a unique blend of tactile exploration and artistic expression. We include a clay project in our curriculum every term and hold clay-specific days during our holiday camps. Let’s dive into the wonderful world of clay art and discover its benefits for children.
The Joy of Working with Clay
Working with clay is a sensory-rich adventure that instantly captivates children. The moment they touch the soft, malleable material, a world of possibilities opens up. This tactile engagement not only enhances their fine motor skills but also sparks their imagination. The process of creating something from a lump of clay is a journey of patience and perseverance, teaching children the value of effort and dedication.
Moreover, clay art is not just about creativity; it’s also therapeutic. The repetitive motions involved in shaping and moulding clay can be calming and meditative, providing a stress-relief outlet for children. As they focus on their creations, they practice mindfulness and develop a sense of accomplishment, boosting their self-esteem.
Getting Started with Clay Art
Parents looking to introduce their children to clay art at home must choose the correct type of clay. We recommend using air-dry clay or polymer clay, which is manageable and less messy than ceramic clay. Remember to always supervise your child during clay activities, as some clays may not be suitable for ingestion or may cause skin irritation.
Choosing the Right Type of Clay
- Air-Dry Clay: This type of clay is easy to work with and hardens naturally without needing a kiln. It’s perfect for simple projects and can be painted once dry.
- Polymer Clay, on the other hand, remains soft until baked in a regular oven. It comes in various colours and is excellent for detailed work and small sculptures.
Essential Tools and Materials
- Plastic knives, rolling pins, and shaping tools
- A clean, flat surface to work on.
- Non-toxic paints and brushes for decorating finished pieces.
Basic Techniques for Shaping and Sculpting Clay
- Pinching: Start by pinching the clay between fingers to form basic shapes.
- Rolling: Roll the clay into coils or flat sheets for various projects.
- Imprinting: Press objects like leaves, shells, or textured fabric into the clay to create patterns.
Fun and Educational Clay Projects for Children
Here are some engaging and educational clay projects that children can enjoy:
Project 1 – Animal Sculptures
Children can create simple animal figures by combining shapes like spheres and cylinders. This project helps them understand proportions and develop their sculpting skills.
Project 2 – Clay Pots and Bowls
Teach children to make functional items like small pots or bowls. They can shape the clay using the pinching technique and decorate their creations with paint or imprints.
Project 3 -Textured Tiles
Press various objects into clay tiles to explore different textures. Children can create a series of tiles with other patterns and assemble them into a larger artwork.
Project 4 -Storytelling Figures
Encourage children to make characters from their favourite stories or invent new ones. This project stimulates their imagination and storytelling abilities while honing their sculpting skills.
Tips for Parents: Encouraging Creativity with Clay Art
Supporting your child’s clay art activities can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here are some practical tips to help you get started:
Tip 1 – Set Up a Dedicated Space
Create a specific area for clay projects stocked with all necessary materials, such as air-dry clay. For more tips, check out our blog post on How to Create an Art Corner for Your Child at Home. A dedicated space will help contain the mess and keep everything organised.
Tip 2 -Encourage Experimentation and Creativity
Allow children to experiment with different techniques and ideas. Encourage them to think outside the box and create unique pieces without focusing on perfection.
Tip 3 -Provide Guidance and Assistance
As a parent, your role in your child’s clay art journey is crucial. Offer help when needed, especially with more complex techniques. However, it’s equally important to let children explore and learn independently. Your guidance and support will not only enhance their learning experience but also strengthen your bond with them.
Tip 4 -Display Their Creations
Showcase your child’s clay works around the house, boosting their confidence and pride in their creations.
Conclusion
Introducing children to clay art is a beautiful way to nurture their creativity and artistic skills.

We invite you to book a trial class and let your child experience the joy of clay art.

My child truly enjoys their well-organized art lessons, which provide students with the opportunity to personalize their work based on their preferences. This has greatly helped him build confidence and independence in expressing his creativity through art.
We had a fantastic experience with Chalk n Pencils Art Studio for our daughter's capybara-themed 10th birthday party. The team was warm, well-organized, and great with the kids, making the whole event smooth and stress-free. The highlight was the capybara plushie-making activity—so thoughtfully planned and engaging. The kids were thrilled to create their own adorable plushies and take them home as special keepsakes.
Everything, from the setup to the guidance provided, was handled with care and creativity. The studio had a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff made sure every child felt involved and had fun. A big thank you to the team for making this such a memorable and joyful celebration! Highly recommend for a unique and hands-on party experience.

A superbly fun experience for kids- Pris & team took care of our needs well. We had a party of 19 kids, everyone was well taken care of. The 7 YO children had a great time and were so pleased with their art work. Parents just sit back and relax- the team takes care of it all .
lovely studio. for adult learners, this offers more free flowing experiences that prioritising getting your hands dirty rather than structured art lessons. might need to take more initiative asking for help if you’re a beginner, but it generally feels like a safe space.
knowing totally nothing then trying to draw still life / live figure drawing for 3h can be quite daunting lol. so folks who prefer more structured and step by step lesson agendas may struggle here.
trials are x2 sessions for ~$90 and you can see which sort of classes you like.
i didn’t like that 1 of the instructors touched up my work quite a bit to demonstrate, though i didn’t say much then (so that’s also on me)
the founder of the studio (priscilia) is generous and patient. appreciate that. could see she tried to suggest things for me to try more aligned to my interests!

Thank you, Jason, for your 5* review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the art jamming session for your team retreat. We hope to see all of you again for more art activities 🙂
I highly recommend Chalk N Pencils for birthday parties! My son and his friends had a blast making their own customised Hot Wheels with guidance from the extremely helpful teachers. After spending much time sourcing around for party ideas, this specially curated session took the cake! It is meaningful, kids get to be hands on while learning a new craft, garnering several praises from parents. That too, parents get to take a break and chill at the nearby cafes, while leaving their kids in good hands 🙂
Planning was smooth and easy. I appreciate Priscilla’s quick and helpful responses. Almost no frills.
If you have not visited the premise, you should! It is absolutely tasteful, very pleasant and conducive environment. My children attends art lessons here as well and they have been yearning to go back week after week.
Thank you Chalk N Pencils!!!

My daughter loves going to chalk and pencils for her art classes. She says her teacher is patient in and she gets to learn the different mediums of art. The studio is small but full of artistic creations and she feels totally comfortable and looks forward to it.
My child had a wonderful time at Chalk N Pencils. Ms Kheng was incredibly patient and made learning fun. Highly recommend for the personal touch.
My daughter clearly enjoyed herself and she comes back with surprising wonderful pieces. Thank you Miss Kheng for inspiring her.
My son went for a trial at the studio and he enjoyed the two sessions very much. The studio is airy, bright and comfortable. I imagine the whole experience to be very therapeutic, especially after a day of lessons in school.
I appreciate the small teacher-student ratio and attention provided. More importantly, the art work was truly created by my son.

Chalk N Pencils is fantastic! Priscilia and her team were so engaging and patient with the kids. They made the birthday party extra special with their dreamcatcher workshop.
I totally live the print making at the studio. Pris so patient and knowledgeable about her work. Totally recommend the place
We recently celebrated my daughter’s 6th birthday at this wonderful art studio, and it was a truly magical experience! From the moment we arrived, Priscilla and team were incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The studio itself is beautifully set up—bright, creative, and inspiring, making it the perfect venue for kids to explore their artistic side.
The art activity was a huge hit with all the children. Each child created their own unique masterpiece, guided by friendly and patient instructors who made the process fun and engaging. The studio provided high-quality materials, and the kids were so proud of their artwork by the end of the session.
The party setup was fantastic, with thoughtful decorations and plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, and they made sure everything ran smoothly, from the activities to the cake cutting.
It was heartwarming to see how much fun the kids had, and the parents were equally impressed. Isabel and her friends had an unforgettable time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate her special day. A big thank you to the entire team at the art studio for creating such a memorable experience for all of us!
Highly recommended for anyone looking to host a creative and stress-free kids’ party!

Just had an ART-ful birthday party session for my 7 year old's birthday at Chalks and Pencils at New Bahru. They made the enquiry and booking process so seamless and easy. The studio space is large and inviting and Priscilia and her team were really well skilled at handling the 13 children. They were well organised and guided the children patiently and expertly. The children were so happy with their finished artwork and it was also packaged nicely for them to bring it back home. My daughter and her friends had a truly enjoyable art session. Location is excellent, especially as it was a drop off session and the other parents could wait at the many cafes and restaurants in the building. The birthday girl declared it as, the best party ever!
Beautiful studio! I made a last minute request to accommodate 10 children for a birthday party and Priscilla was extremely helpful. It was a very pleasant and worry free experience.
During the party, teachers were experienced and patient. The kids enjoyed themselves!

Studio was very bright and inviting, the teachers were so helpful and welcoming - even though my child was probably way below the appropriate painting age, they helped to find ways for him to participate. Thank you!!
Highly recommended a family painting session by Priscilla. My family of 3 had a wonderful morning bonding over painting.. with her magical strokes she’s able to transform our bits and pieces into an art piece.
I enjoyed the portrait drawing session, it brought back memories of my art school days. I loved the cozy studio space and look forward to joining the next life drawing session!
Lovely experience. Would highly recommend. Relaxing and help on hand if needing advice. Will definitely go back
Had arranged a Sanrio painting small birthday gathering for my daughters and their friends recently. The children had a blast and enjoyed painting their favourite Sanrio characters.
The arts studio is clean and activities were well organised. There were numerous cafe options for the parents to hang out as well while waiting. There is another outlet in Joo chiat as well.

We had great fun drawing and painting the shophouses with lovely wine and nibbles.
Came for a wine and paint evening, they were brilliant. Highly recommended 👌
Amazing knowledge and really patient towards my inability to paint! Highly recommend them!!!
Had an enjoyable experience at a guided live portrait drawing session at Chalk and Pencil. It was my first portrait drawing experience and Ms Priscilia was very patient in guiding me throughout the session. Highly recommend Chalk n Pencil if you are looking to explore new techniques 🙂
We recently celebrated our son's birthday at Chalk n Pencils, New Bahru. It was a hot wheels-themed party requested by the birthday boy. All thanks to Priscilia, the founder's creative ideas, as well as her team's mock-up in the preparation stages, the actual day turned up awesome despite some initial hiccups. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves and even brought home their handmade and designed craftwork which looked legitly like the real deal!
We absolutely love the art class conducted by Ms Kheng! Ms Kheng is incredibly patient and nurturing, creating a welcoming environment that allows our toddlers to explore their creativity without any pressure. Each class is filled with imaginative art projects that incorporate a fantastic mix of media, which keeps our toddlers engaged and excited to create.
What I especially appreciate is how the activities not only foster creativity but also provide a wonderful sensory experience. The projects are designed to help develop their motor skills, making learning fun and interactive. It’s amazing to see their confidence grow as they experiment with different materials.
Overall, this art class has been a fantastic experience for our toddlers, and we can't recommend it enough!

Held a birthday party there for the girls and everyone had a blast. Pris was very helpful from the start with the ideation and concept of what can be done. Very lovely place as well!
We had a birthday party at Chalk n Pencils (New Bahru) recently and the children definitely enjoyed the craft session! Priscilia is very patient, confident and skilled in handling the kids. She kept the mood light hearted and was very engaging throughout the entire session.
The whole process of organising the party was easy and fuss-free. The studio is bright and inviting. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for an art party session!

Chalk n Pencils' beautiful new space at New Bahru provides a conducive space for art making and is a good place to soothe your soul. Workshops and classes are conducted by artists and one thing you can count on is that Ms Kheng always uses quality materials in her studio.
Attended a rubber stamp carving workshop yesterday for Design Week and really enjoyed myself. Strongly recommend anyone who is around the area to pop by and take a look. There's also a corner where you can shop!

I attended a stamp carving workshop as a part of Singapore Design Week. Priscilla is a talented artist who loves sharing her knowledge, and is a natural teacher. It was also lovely to meet others in the class and chat in a relaxed and casual setting.
A beautifully designed studio on the 4th floor of New Bahru, Chalk n Pencils is a lovely respite from the bustle of Singapore for some quiet and restful artmaking. We attended Priscillia's stamp carving workshop as part of Singapore Design Week and had so much fun. She was patient, approachable, and skilled. Looking forward to more artful experiences at Chalk n Pencils! 🙂
Sessions at Chalk N Pencils are fun with a great ambience for creation. Priscilla has been very gracious hosting events and was incredible with sharing tips and tricks in her workshops
I took a rubber carving class, and it was a fantastic experience! The instructor was patient and knowledgeable, making it easy for beginners to follow along. I loved the hands-on approach, and by the end, I created a detailed design I didn’t think was possible. The class had a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and the small size allowed for personal attention. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something new

Thanks Priscilla for teaching us how to use the stamp carving tools safely for different effects and steps during today’s workshop. 👍 Appreciate the suggestions to improve the design to make it more interesting.
The New Bahru studio also has a lot of creative works around for a relaxing and inspiring environment.

I recently took my kid to Chalk n Pencils @ New Bahru during our vacation, and we had an amazing experience! The studio is bright and inviting, filled with all kinds of creative supplies. The instructors are incredibly friendly and encouraging, helping the kids explore their creativity in a fun way. My child loved the variety of projects available, from painting to crafting.
The atmosphere is relaxed, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about nurturing the kids' artistic talents. My kid left with huge smiles and their own masterpieces! We’re dropping by during our vacation, and we can’t wait to see if it opens up near our neighborhood! We’ll definitely be returning for more classes and events. Highly recommend for any young artist!

We had a wonderful experience with Priscilia. Before we even started, she took the time to brainstorm ideas with us, considering the setting of our new home to ensure the painting would be a perfect fit. During the session, she expertly guided me, my husband, and our 3-year-old boy through various techniques to achieve different strokes. It’s definitely not easy to involve a young child in painting, but she managed to engage our son, allowing him to contribute to some areas of the artwork. Her friendly and pleasant demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable, and we're absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We can't wait to display it in our home!
Recently attended a guided live portrait drawing session at Chalk N Pencils, and it was a fantastic experience! The studio's ambiance is both welcoming and inspiring, creating the perfect environment for creativity. The instructor, Ms Priscilia, was incredibly skilled and provided clear, insightful guidance and demos throughout the session, helping me improve my techniques and confidence in drawing with charcoal. If you're looking for a great place to enhance your art skills, I highly recommend Chalk N Pencils. They hold different types of live sessions too like figure drawing as well as still life! It’s an exceptional blend of instruction, artistry, and a supportive community!
My daughter loves their art classes. Ms Priscilla is patient and really has deep knowledge on art. She makes art fun for people. She also helped us with our family painting which we hang proudly in our living room now! ❤️
Truly Meow-Mazing to do the Gabby dollhouse art jamming party for my girl’s 8th yr bday party with Chalk N Pencils! It was fuss-free during the planning and discussing the event details , easy to communicate and my queries were addressed promptly. On the actual day, the set-up was done bythe team swiftly and thankful for Chalk N Pencils to provide all materials , furniture and pleased to have 3 staff to oversee , teach and guide the 10 kiddoz on their jamming 😃. The kiddoz enjoyed the painting , learning new art skills and have lots of fun during the party. A small twist of event that we weren’t able to have it at the new studio , but all went well we had the party at our place which made the event accessible and convenient to us and our little guests.
Did 10 sessions of adult coaching classes to improve my watercolour painting skills and Pris was really patient with me. She gave a lot of guidance and also helped to correct some mistakes in my pieces. This was very important to me in looking for a good teacher and I learnt a lot. The school also organises ad-hoc outdoor painting and sketching classes which helped me connect with other like-minded people and improve my skills beyond just watercolour. Classes were fun, affordable and flexible. Unfortunately, I’ve to leave the country for work, otherwise, I would’ve continued! Thanks to Pris and the rest of the teachers for an amazing time, I hope to be back soon!
The children have been taking art classes here for half a year and have improved a lot in their painting and coloring skills.
We love the small class sizes here. The teachers are patient and possess pure art professional skills and experience. There is no need to worry about children being crammed and losing the collaboration and originality of artistic creation.
In the child's works, I saw a lot of her own creative concepts and ideas, and the use of art materials is also quite diversified. I can see the hard work of the teacher team! My children look forward to going to art class every week😊
Recommended for parents who want their children to immerse themselves in art creation!

Alexa loves going for art class at Chalk n Pencils every week. She looks forward to learning different techniques for the various art pieces and is always proud to show me her results. The teachers are very patient with her as she tends to overthink and become slower in the creation process. The older sister also enjoys the various workshops/camps during the holidays and looks forward to them year on year!
My kid totally loves their art class at Chalk n pencils . The teacher makes art super fun for the little ones. The kids learn techniques and get creative in a relaxed setting. My kiddo looks forward to class and has become an awesome little artist thanks to all the encouragement to use their imagination. I'd definitely say check out this art class!
Glad that we would chalkandpencils! The Joo Chiat location is good for our family, class size is small and the teacher helped my child settle into class right from the start. We look forward to attending more classes at chalkandpencils in future!
My 3 year old liked his art class very much. It's in a cosy little corner of Katong Point where he interacts with students at his own age group which builds his confidence. The teachers are patient and guide along the art class rather than "spoon feeding" by drawing it for the kids and just having him colour it. Will definitely recommend for a toddler age kid who is interested in art!
I am enjoying my sessions with ShaSha. The instructor is patient and the best part is I have her undivided attention. The art sketches challenge me - and this really helps because you have the space to explore and ask for guidance when you need it. I appreciate Shasha's attention.
My child loved her time at the studio. Highly recommend!

My 6yo son has been attending weekly art classes at Chalk N Pencils for almost 2 years now, and he has been enjoying his time there thoroughly. The projects are interesting and varied, new techniques are taught to him, and the teachers allow him to incorporate his interest areas into the artwork. He thinks of it as his happy place. Highly recommended!

The art camp has very interesting themes and the teachers are friendly and patient

We chance upon Chalk n Pencil @ Sunshine Plaza and notice their Holiday Camp program. As my son is “extraordinary” I was concerned initially of him being able to adapt to the programs . The staff approached us and explained to us the programs and reassured us they would be able to accept him as long as we parents be truthful about his conditions .
My son attended a 3 days program at their Katong outlet (2 Artists Impressed Painting & 1 Pokeball Sculpture)
My husband & I were surprised when we received a mid day update on his art work progress as well as a final day artwork . The staff had also been very professional and courteous.
Would definitely be signing up my son for their future programs and recommend others too .

I sent my daughter here for a couple weeks of art camps during her school holiday. She had a wonderful time and made several nice paintings and sculptures. One of them has become her most cherished possession, and she proudly shows it to everyone who visits our home.
I like how some of these art camp activities got her interested in fine art. She's in love with impressionism now, and she has been begging me to take her to see some famous impressionist paintings in person. I also appreciate how she was fed decent quality lunches while she attended, for other kids activities feature junk food far too often.
Overall, I think the Chalk n Pencils art camps are good wholesome fun, and I would definitely send my daughter back.

Highly recommend this place for kids. My daughter has been there since 4-5 years old and now my younger son is also going weekly. It’s their favorite class and love going there every week
Teacher Shasha is very patient and friendly. My son (4.5 years old) enjoys his weekly art class at chalk n pencil. He has already picked up a few art technique and has great improvement in cutting with scissors.
My son has been with Chalk and Pencil for 3 years. We can clearly see his improvement. The teachers are experienced and patient and my son enjoys his experience. His recent work, as a 7 year old.
Chalk n Pencils is located at sunshine plaza which is centralised and very convenient. Miss Thi and Miss Giselle is friendly and provided professional guidance throughout the art jamming session. It’s all our first time, and we are not sure of what to expect and draw. However, Miss Thi and Miss Giselle explained patiently and helped us with the colour combination. The art studio is well equipped with many colours and tools. We all enjoyed the session and had lots of fun! Thank you all for providing us an awesome experience 🙂
