Our hope is to open again on April 7th. We know many of you will be at home with your children due to the school closures and will be posting weekly craft videos to do at home on Facebook. We will also post links to where you can order the products needed to replicate the project should you need any of the materials. We will be posting these fun DIY’s on our Facebook Page.
What types of art classes do you offer for pre-schoolers?
Our Creative Explorer classes are designed to help 3-5 year old minds grow in their understanding of the world around them through art. Each class we teach Creative Explorers new concepts, artistic skills, and encourage them to navigate our studio independently. We inspire students to execute their own ideas as well as think through processes. Creative Explorers refine and enhance their motor skills as they focus on learning to cut, paint, draw, paper mache, mold, & so much more!
What ages are Creative Explorers for? 3-5 yrs.
What times and days do you offer Creative Explorers? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 11:15AM-Noon (with grownup) and Fridays (with grownup) Creative Play and Snack 9AM-11AM. (Open house style)
NEW Creative Play and Snack Fridays 9AM-11AM (Ages 18 months-5 yrs.) At Art Spark we know the importance of make believe, creative play, and the magic of a good snack! Tots and Explorers are welcome to join us on Fridays for creative playtime and snacks. We will offer rotating themes (listed below) for your child to come and experience. One snack per child will be available during playtime (cost is included with pass). We just ask that snack be eaten in our blue room, away from the play area to reduce germs. Creative Play and Snack will begin at 9AM and end at 11AM. You do not have to stay for the whole two hours (we know little ones tire out easily)! The Creative Play will be centered around stimulating your child’s (children’s) fine motor skills, problem solving, and imagination. We will offer a multitude of sensory bins, toys, activities, and age appropriate art supplies!
