How to use this resource
The Cultivating Creativity Calendar is designed for everyone, whatever your ability or experience. Each activity has different options and suggestions, so you can join in and feel inspired. The activities can be done at home or in any other space you find safe and comfortable… and sometimes outdoors!
We’ve divided the year into four seasonal collections, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each one guides you through nature’s changes and helps you explore your own journey through creative and mindful activities.
Within each seasonal collection, you will find the following resources:
• Two creative activities
• One mindfulness activity
• One art therapy & me section
• One gallery area
Choose a season – for example, ‘Spring’ – that you wish to work through, and then click on the resources you’d like to use.
You can use the Cultivating Creativity Calendar as the seasons change, working through the resources in the order they appear. Or you can use it in your own way, returning to activities that you enjoy or find helpful.

Please note: the Cultivating Creativity Calendar is an education-based resource and does not act as a substitute for therapy. For further information on accessing art therapy support, please visit the British Association of Art Therapists’ website.
