Curated Process Art and Sensory Experiences for Young Children

Process art focuses on the process of making art and exploring materials, rather than on the finished product. It is child-directed and every child’s creation is different and unique.

How can caregivers start creating
and incorporating process art with children?

Art Classes

Looking for ways to keep your toddler or preschool aged child engaged?

Join us for process art and sensory play classes. We focus on the process of exploring materials, rather than a final finished product!

Birthday Parties & Private Groups

Planning a birthday party or looking for someone to host your special event?

For families local to the Boston area, we offer private playgroups and birthday parties at the Backyartists/Muckykids Art Studio space in Cambridge, MA.

What People are Saying

  • Meagan

    Rachel and Nicole are creative, welcoming, and calm. Their energy is perfect for my slower to warm up pandemic baby who is now 3 and cautiously getting out more in the world. They spend time getting to know each child and caregiver and welcome them at a comfortable pace into the playgroup.

  • Renee

    The Backyartist Team set up creative and fun activities with no expectation of product but instead a focus on the process of exploring. This focus allows for free thinking and experimentation that even my almost-six year old was thrilled by.

  • Leah

    One of my favorite parts was the detailed instructions and little developmental growth tips inside the box! You can tell every detail was thought about.
