These projects are designed for kids Ages Pre-K to 4th grade-ish.
Explore Time in The Art Nook
In our immersive Art Nook, kids have access to a variety of materials to tap into their imagination. During their time in The Art Nook, we encourage process based, unstructured creative time for kids to work and explore independently. It’s not a class or project with a defined outcome.
