  • Tulip Collage

    Tulip Collage

    It is a little bit of this, a little bit of that—and a whole lot of blooming fun! Kids will create a tulip art piece that goes beyond the pretty petals to show the whole flower—bulb and all. It’s a gentle reminder that the real magic often happens behind the scenes… or in this case,…

  • Artist of the Month – Alma Thomas

    Our June artist of the month is Alma Woodsey Thomas. She was a Black American artist who is famous for her bright, colorful paintings filled with patterns — of circles, stripes, and dashes. Alma taught art to children for 35 years before becoming a painter when she was 68 years old! She never gave up on…

  • Tuesday Studio – Dash Painting

    Inspired by the bold, rhythmic work of Alma Thomas, this Studio session is all about color, pattern, and playful precision. Kids will explore painting in repeating patterns—circles, waves, and dashed lines—using a vibrant palette of colors. Along the way, they’ll experiment with what happens when certain hues sit side by side, discovering how colors can…

  • Tuesday Studio – Flyswatter painting

    We can’t quite put our finger on why this activity is such a smash hit. Maybe it’s the deeply satisfying THWACK of paint hitting the wall. Maybe it’s the thrill of being encouraged to make a mess vertically for once. Whatever the reason, this one delivers nonstop giggles every single time.

  • Dino Footprinting

    Things are about to get Jurassic in the MakerSpace on Tuesday. Kids will dunk tiny dinos in ink and send them stomping, charging, and rampaging across giant footprint-shaped paper to create wildly messy prehistoric art. From a T. Rex trail of destruction to a stegosaurus stomp-fest, every masterpiece will tell a story.

  • Alma’s Art

    Each child starts with a circle placed somewhere on their paper and builds outward using rectangular and square shapes, creating patterns. Lines shift, repeat, and evolve as they go, giving each child the freedom to experiment with movement, balance, and design.

  • Beachy Crab

    Beachy Crab

    Sunshine, sandy toes, and salty air… this crab craft is bringing major summer vibes! Layer paper “sand” and sparkling blue water before adding a bright red crab scuttling along the beach. It’s the perfect way to kick off a season filled with flip-flops and sunny-day fun.

  • Tuesday Studio – Watermelon Sponge Painting

    In Tuesday Studio, we will turn sponges into stampers, dipping and pressing them to create bright pink-and-green melon prints that practically scream sunny days and sticky fingers. Then comes the best part—adding fingerprint “seeds,” because there is nothing quite like a trail of tiny proof that a very enthusiastic young artist was behind the artwork.

  • Sun Collage

    Sun Collage

    This cheerful craft is guaranteed to brighten your day! Kids can mix and match sunny patterned paper rays to build their own vibrant sun, then add sparkling sequins and colorful tissue paper dots for extra texture, layers, and shine. The result? A radiant work of art that’s impossible not to smile at!

  • Animal World Experience

    Animal World Experience is bringing the zoo to us as Matt returns with a fascinating group of animal friends for an up-close meet & greet. Learn about how they’re cared for, what makes each one unique, and of course… their names (which are sometimes hilarious!).

  • Father’s Day Cards
