Hello we are Ari and Friends - your creative crew! Think of us as your creative besties and pocket sized hype monsters! We are here to help you feel awesome, get into your feels, and express yourself with creative tools that actually make sense.
We have creative ways to help you feel more like you!
At The Creative Toolbox, we believe creativity isn’t just something fun — it’s something fundamental.
Kids are naturally creative. But as they grow, that spark often gets pushed aside. Inspired by thinkers like Sir Ken Robinson, we’re here to change that — by making creativity a part of everyday life again, right where it belongs.
We’re not a therapy program. We’re a creative companion.
Through drawing, writing, movement, storytelling, color, dance, and a little bit of imaginative monster magic, we help kids explore big feelings in gentle, playful ways — long before they need to name them. Our activities are built on the idea that creativity can support mental wellbeing, without needing to be clinical. Just expressive, joyful, and real.
The Creative Toolbox offers a creative support crew through Ari and friends designed to help kids:
Every resource we create is backed by educational principles and guided by our colorful crew of monster besties — like Ari, Ezri, Sae and Rumi — who make learning feel safe, silly, and full of heart.
Because everyone deserves tools they can reach for when life feels tricky.
Whether it’s an art prompt to shake off frustration, a dance move for nervous energy, or a quiet affirmation for those “meh” days — we’re here to help kids fill their creative toolbox with practical, playful ways to feel better and express themselves.
The Creative Toolbox isn’t just a website. It’s a growing community of families, educators, and creative besties all learning how to support emotional wellbeing through art and imagination.
Through our online content, live events, courses, and monster-led activities, we’re building something big: a world where creativity is seen as essential, and kids grow up knowing how to use it to feel good in themselves.
