Art by our Artists

All our Facilitators are Artists themeselves. Some of you are curious as to what they create. I've posted some of their works and you will find them all at the studio. If you would like to purchase any of these pieces feel free to contact us.




Body Parts!

This week is all about the body, it's parts and how those parts work. Life size paintings were made, mini me's were collaged and clay people, or rather parts were sculpted.

The children really got a kick out of making their hair a different color. Dressing themselves up and showing their parents. This was a really fun project for them and one they could really become a part of.





Let is snow continues...

The older children created winter scenes that provoked lots of reflection. We are always amazed at what they think about and how deep their thoughts can be. This box was made by a 6 year old boy.


All the children, 18 months and older loved making snowmen and none of them wanted to leave any behind, not even to dry! I bet parents had lots of glitter to wipe off in their cars...sorry! We can't help but give them glitter, they love it. Where else can they dumb a pound of it and not worry about the mess?

Let It Snow!

On the first day of snowfall we were setup with winter materials. The children made snowflakes, snowmen, sculpted trees covered in snow, and at the water table we melted ice so they could see what happens to the snow when it melts. This was a hit, ice cube after ice cube was melted! At the sand table we filled it with fine white sand and let the children arrange natural objects to create a winter forest.

More Rain Forest Pictures





The Rain Forest

This week we are all about the Rain Forest. Who lives there, what it sounds like and what the climate is like. They were able to paint on the wall, in mural like style and add their creations to it after they were done.

We have surround sound in the studio so the children were able to hear some really cool sounds of animals and rain. It adds a great atmosphere for the children to explore. Most of them walked in this morning looking at the ceiling thinking there were actual birds there.

Paint Your Face

It was a lively Sunday morning at our studio. Only one child managed to leave without painting their face. However he may have gone home with lots of glitter in his hair.

More Under the Sea this week

We are really enjoying the thrill these children get after they place their finished sea animals in the boxes. As you can see they are all hard at work assembling their pieces.

Less than two weeks old!

Today we were greeted by our youngest visitor. Less than two weeks old, Baby A. slept the whole time while his brother enjoyed his morning class.


















Painting is always something that parents love to get into themselves. We are happy to provide weekend classes so parents have special time to spend with their children.

Let them play!

Things are looking good at the studio. Lot's of little ones busy creating and interacting with one another. The parents are as wonderful as the children and our staff is really loving their jobs.

We've started offering classes for older children now so I'll post some pictures of their projects once I have a chance.
