My name is Dinky Bear,
I am the much loved mascot of the Dinky Doodlers art classes. I'm always there to greet the children at the start of our classes and I love saying hello to everyone and joining in with the songs - although sometimes I need some help from the children to wake up!!
I love nothing more than joining in with the activities, and usually end up with a few more splatters of paint every time or splashed with whatever exciting sensory materials are featured each week.
My most important job is to help make the children feel right at home - and I'm always on hand for cuddles or to offer my artistic talents when a dinky doodler needs me! I look forward to meeting you at one of our classes soon!

My name is Laura,
I'm a mum to two girls who both love getting creative - in fact my daughters think access to glitter and paint is a basic human right! So it's just as well that my work life involves an abundance of colourful pompoms, sparkles, paint and so many fun materials (although keeping inquisitive little hands away from my very own "Mister Maker" style storage drawers can be something of a challenge!)
Much of my working life has been spent in creative industries, designing and later teaching for local government and developing education resources. In my spare time I am also an avid dressmaker. I have been running Dinky Doodlers for almost 4 years in both Reigate and Cobham, and I love meeting so many busy little makers each week. I take great enjoyment from planning arts, crafts and tactile experiences that all our Dinky Doodlers will enjoy exploring - from our youngest makers developing their fine motor skills and embarking on initial mark making, to our older children flexing their creative muscles and artistic independence. My own children are only too willing to be my test subjects and can often be found at the weekends elbow deep in cloud dough, home-made slime, or testing out some fun paint techniques. So no matter what stage your little one is at - you can be sure that we'll be there with materials and activities to challenge and inspire - and of course you won't have to clear up the mess!
