If you are looking for something to do with your tiny ones, ages 6weeks up to 3 years, it is never too soon to introduce to your little ones, the joy of creating art. In this class we make memories while meeting other parents of little fingers and toes. High chairs and smocks available upon request.
BUBBLE ART Bubbles, bubbles everywhere! What could be more fun than blowing bubbles? In this class, we will create art by laying shapes down or even taping off baby’s name, then covering your painting with just colored bubbles. Once dried, you will remove the tape revealing your child’s latest masterpiece.
LITTLE ARTISTS
TISSUE PAPER STAINED GLASS Let your little one choose some tissue paper colors to tear up. (They love that!) Then have them design their own faux stained class masterpiece. Mom or Dad will cut out an initial or favorite shape to frame the work of art.
Encourage the little artist in your child at an early age to promote creativity and selfesteem. Little Artist classes are designed for parents to be hands-on with their child to complete the project. Therefore we recommend no more than two children per adult to get the most out of the class. Classes will focus on motor skills, creativity and skill building. When a child creates, every piece is a work of art! Classes are designed for 3 – 5 year olds.
MARCH & APRIL Every Tuesday of March and the last 3 Tuesdays in April, we will be making upcycled projects in the spirit of Earth Day, April 22. You will be amazed at what can be done with the items readily available in your home. Make an owl, a racecar… or even a fire breathing dragon!
