About Art Classes for Children
Why I Teach Art
Messy hands, big smiles - that's what art means to me. I believe kids should feel free to express themselves, not worry about making things perfect. My classes are all about letting children discover their own style, have fun, and feel proud of what they create.
What Happens in My Classes
- We celebrate every doodle, every splash of color. Kids get to make art about their best qualities, boosting their confidence.
- Imagination is king here. I encourage messy fun and persistence, not just neatness.
- We work on fine motor skills activities for children, like holding brushes, sculpting clay, and cutting paper.
- The vibe is relaxed. Kids can unwind, laugh, and just enjoy making art.
Art Adventures We Explore
- Every session is a new journey - sometimes we get inspired by artists like Jamini Roy or S. H. Raza, sometimes we dive into painting classes for young artists with watercolors, acrylics, or mixed media.
- We create art for festivals - Mandala Rangolis for Diwali, Santa portraits for Christmas, Holi cards, and more.
- Nature themes, unicorns, haunted castles, even cheesecakes - nothing is off-limits.
- We try origami, pop-up cards, newspaper collages, and recycled crafts.
Who Can Join
Kids aged 5 to 11, whether they're shy or super chatty, are welcome. No experience needed - just a willingness to try.
Class Formats
- Regular group classes (online and in-person, Mumbai Khar West)
- Holiday art camps for kids in small groups
- Coaching for Elementary and Intermediate art exams
If your child loves to create, this is their space. Art ka maza lo! (Enjoy the fun of art!)

My Story
Hi, I'm the one behind Little Hands. You know, nothing beats the smile when a kid hands you a messy, colorful card saying 'best teacher.' I started this because I believe in art as therapy - messy hands, happy hearts! It's not just about learning to paint, it's about feeling free to play and create. Every time someone makes something they thought they couldn't, my day is made.
My Work
Art classes and workshops for all - Regular art classes for kids and adults, both online and offline. Everyone’s welcome, no age bar.
Art parties for kids and adults - I host art parties for birthdays, celebrations, and even 'sip and paint' events for grown-ups.
Exam training and holiday camps - I train students for elementary art exam and run holiday camps packed with creative fun.
Explore many art styles - From acrylic painting classes to mandala art workshops, doodling, origami, mixed media collage workshops, and more.
Art made simple - You don't need to be born with a brush. I break things down step-by-step, so anyone can join in and enjoy.
