This class is designed to inspire independence and creativity in students from their earliest days in school. Over the course of the year, students work on projects collaboratively in order to learn the value of creating together, all the while exploring their creativity through independent projects. Each student works on a sketchbook over the course of the semester, creating a lifelong keepsake. Projects involve various techniques and subjects including collage-making, drawing, painting, watercolors, stenciling, and working with an array of materials from tissue paper to fabric. Students are given much freedom to explore their own imaginations and to continue becoming independent artists! Content is different in Session 1 and Session 2.

Every class will start with a 15 minutes story time session, and will then be followed by a mixed media arts and crafts activity inspired by the chapters read that day.

Please feel free to share the fun with us by revisiting at home with your child the chapters already read in class.
Join The Kids’ Table instructors to learn to work independently and create healthy and delicious dishes. We guide children through recipes step-by-step, helping them tap into their creative chefs within. With the help of our child-sized cooking utensils, children will marvel at their ability to chop, mince, roll, grate, mash and measure. While the kids are getting their hands dirty in the kitchen, we expose them to fun and interesting facts about the natural ingredients they’re using—making healthy cooking and eating irresistible.
