Doodle Bugs: Therapeutic & Sensory Art Play for Toddlers+

Tuesdays, 10:30 AM – 11:45 AM

Location: Art Space, 509 South Auburn St., Grass Valley, CA

Doodle Bugs is a weekly therapeutic and sensory art and play group for toddlers and up and their caregivers. This playful, nurturing group invites little ones to explore hands-on art and sensory experiences — while caregivers enjoy connection, community, and a mindful creative pause in their week.

About the Program

  • Sessions are designed to encourage curiosity, self-expression, and joyful connection.

  • The focus is on the process, not the product, helping children build confidence, creativity, and regulation.

  • Facilitated by Becky Johnson, artist, art therapist, and mama to 3, bringing warmth, humor, and expertise in child development and creative expression.

  • Location for Art:

    • Typically held in the backyard for open, playful exploration.

    • Inclement weather: Sessions move inside the Art Space studio.

  • Dress for mess! Creativity can get colorful and tactile.
