Yellow Brick Road

Yellow Brick Road was a mobile creative play service covering Craven and the Dales, the South Lakes and North Lancashire. The service was aimed at children under twelve, and their parents, carers and educators. It was staffed by a group of qualified and experienced play workers, artists, musicians and performers. It ceased operating when the North Craven Childrens Centre opened.

Yellow Brick Road:
  • engaged the imagination of children and adults
  • encouraged creative play, art, music and dance
  • buildt confidence in self-expression
  • enhanced social skills
  • provided stimulating creative resources
  • supported the curriculum needs of schools and other educators
  • supported people working with children to develop
    their own approach to encouraging imaginative
    expression

A visit from the Yellow Brick Road team resulted in an amazing transformation of space using fabric and floor mats, story boxes and dressing-up costumes. Music, dance, shadow play, storytelling, performance and ‘messy play’ gave children (and adults who couldn't resist joining in) the chance to explore, create and relate to others in their own imagined worlds.

Yellow Brick Road also provided training events for parents, carers, childcare workers, teachers, ancillary staff, and anyone working with children.

Yellow Brick Road resources, including costumes, musical instruments, playmates and the amazing yellow brick road stepping stones are available to hire.
