This holiday season, Ignite Pathways is creating something special for their Littles Program, an opportunity for young children to slow down, connect, and create with intention. As part of their winter curriculum, they’re introducing hands-on art activities where each child gets to design and craft their own holiday decorations.

From painted ornaments to personalized garlands and keepsake creations inspired by the examples shown, these projects are designed to support emotional expression, fine-motor development, and sensory exploration. Each decoration becomes more than a craft, it becomes a tangible reminder of joy, creativity, and the child’s growing confidence.

Ignite Pathways believes that art helps children feel grounded and empowered, especially during the busy holiday season. By offering a space where Littles can explore color, texture, and imagination, the program encourages connection, self-expression, and the simple magic of making something with their own hands.

These holiday creations will be incorporated into the program’s broader therapeutic work and giving children an avenue to build emotional regulation skills, practice mindfulness, and experience the pride of creating something uniquely their own.

The Littles Program continues to grow through activities like these, offering a blend of gentle structure, therapeutic support, and playful creativity that helps each child feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Sessions typically last 60 minutes and run in multi-week cycles so children have time to build skills, relationships, and trust.

👦👧 Who Is This Group For

This group is ideal for children who:

• Benefit from structured social practice

• Need support navigating peer conflict

• Want to build confidence, resilience, and communication skills

• Thrive with hands-on activities like drawing, movement, games, and pretend play

Perfect for kids who may not succeed with talk-heavy groups and learn better through doing, moving, and expressing.

🎨 What to Expect

Each session blends art, play, and body movement to help children learn emotional skills in ways that feel natural and fun. Kids will practice:

• Naming and understanding emotions

• Building frustration tolerance

• Using coping strategies during tough moments

• Resolving conflict with peers

• Taking turns, sharing space, and communicating needs

• Making and maintaining friendships
