magic acorns
Magic Acorns is an early years development organisation striving to co-create
ground-breaking work with, and for, our very youngest children. Through
collaborations with early years practitioners, artists and cultural
organisations, we make extraordinary multi-sensory creations and training
accessible to young children, artists, educators and the wider community, both
in the UK and internationally. Magic Acorns is rooted in inclusion, offering
spaces where children and families are cared for and nurtured through the arts.
We are led by children’s imaginations and research, across multiple art forms -
music, theatre, making, art and play. We create spaces - physical and virtual -
where connections can be made, and where truly experimental work can be created.
Magic Acorns believes that our youngest children should be able to access the
very best in arts and culture. Magic Acorns encounters the world with children,
learns what children can do from children, and learns what art can do by
listening to children. We create aesthetic work, which is made for – and with –
children under five. We forge connections and grow communities through the
creation of inclusive, enriching and compassionate spaces, for children,
parents, artists and educators. We foster collaboration between arts and
cultural organisations, artists and educators. We support participation,
developing skills through training, experimentation, exploration and reflection.
We keep research at the heart of practice and develop deep thinking through
theoretical approaches
