Canva for kids, learning art and technology skills through fun, child-friendly lessons

This is made up of bite-sized projects covering the most essential skills in Canva, skills that will give your kids a huge head start in the digital landscape.

Everything your child needs for the lessons is in the template which you work along with in Canva.

This saves time and keeps kids focused on learning instead of getting distracted by searching for things to add. That said, they can still make the projects their own and use any content they like!

Yes, lessons are accompanied by custom templates created just for you.

These templates are pre-designed documents with all the resources needed for each lesson. They open right in your Canva window, making it super easy for your child to follow along and complete the projects.

Each template is designed to save time and minimise distractions, so your child can focus on learning and being creative.

All materials are child-friendly and crafted to ensure a smooth, enjoyable learning experience.

The course is designed to accommodate different learning styles and paces because not everyone learns the same way. If your child likes to focus and complete tasks quickly, it is possible to work through all the lessons within a month.

However, it's not just about completing a lesson and ticking it off. The course adds skills progressively, with each lesson building on the previous one.

You and your child can also go back to these lessons when you want to start a new project. They'll be great reminders of everything we've covered.

Currently, there are 8 projects in the first lesson module, and Lesson Module 2 has started with more lessons coming soon.

Kids Get Creative with Canva is designed for kids aged 6-12, providing a kid-friendly, fun space to learn technology in a way that is building foundational skills. The lessons are structured to set them up for future success using Canva and a multitude of other platforms which use similar tools and workflows.

Here are some of the benefits for you and your kids:

• Kid-Friendly Content: All lessons use child-safe materials that are engaging and appropriate for young learners.
• Builds Essential Skills: Helps kids develop important tech and design skills that are valuable for school and future learning.
• Boosts Confidence: Structured projects build confidence as kids create and learn at their own pace.
• Easy to Use: No need to search for tutorials online. Everything your child needs is included in the course.

Yes, all content in the course is child-friendly. I prioritise online child safety and privacy.

I see Canva itself as an opportunity for kids to experiment with design and creative ideas quickly and easily, building their confidence and technical skills. These abilities will also give them a head start as they use other software and online platforms in the future.

Another big advantage of Canva is that kids don’t need to be ‘good at drawing.’ Many kids say they 'don't like drawing,' but often it's because they don't feel confident in their drawing or painting abilities. Canva offers a great opportunity for those kids to be visually creative without needing to draw.

In Canva, all the elements they need are right there in the software. Kids can combine and rearrange them to produce their own works of art, lists to print out, party invitations, posters—the options are endless.

The skills learned in this creative play can easily flow into producing more serious projects as they grow.

For this course we use the Free Canva Subscription - it has everything we need and more.
