All Ages Creative Academy

Remember that easy way to filter elements in Canva, before 2025 updates? I miss it.

The new layout has been here for a bit already, but I've spoken to some people recently who are still unsure.

In this quick walkthrough we look at:
• Where to find the Elements filter options
• How to filter by colour, orientation, animation, and Free vs Pro
• Why some options may not be there (options depend on free vs. pro)
• That annoying little arrow that’s easy to miss

Short lessons. Big Benefits!

Kids want to use devices, we want at least some of that time to be beneficial for them.

During holidays it can get increasingly tricky to enforce limits on screen time.

Kids Get Creative With Canva is an online course for 6-12 year old kids. It gives you the chance to provide an option for positive screen time for your kids.

Most kids are already using Canva at school and at home, and they're so fast at picking up new technology it's can seem like they have it covered.

But we're missing the chance to give kids structured guidance that will help them grow their digital literacy.

Until now 😊

The short lessons are perfect for busy families and homeschooling schedules.

Hey there! I’m Sarah from All Ages Creative Academy, where creativity meets real-world skills.

I teach both kids and adults how to get confident using Canva.

For kids, there’s Kids Get Creative with Canva — fun, hands-on projects that turn screen time into positive time - building tech literacy at home

And for adults, there’s QuickStart Canva for Business — a practical course that helps you create clear, professional content using Canva Free. You’ll finally know what to use, what to skip, and how to get things done faster.

Everything I teach comes back to one idea: when you understand how Canva works, it stops feeling confusing — and starts feeling creative again.
