A Child's Introduction to Materials

Creative Exploration is a process based class that introduces children to a variety of different materials. Each week there is a common theme explored through a series of art stations. Each station is a different example of how that weeks material can be used. Children are free to move around and explore each station as they please. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children.

Creative Exploration was created to encourage children to explore and use their imaginations. The concept of the class was created with the hope that it would instill a strong foundation, at a young age, giving the child the ability to think outside the box with confidence.

Food creations







Food creations...I wanted so badly to paint with spaghetti that I decided on Food as a theme. At the time, I had a bit of a mental block past different fruit and veggie stamps and spaghetti noodles. I am so happy that I thought of the potato heads, they were great!!! Parents, if you are looking for something to pass the time potato heads are fun and great. I will be adding those to the list of awesome crafts to do with kids! I have since thought of some other fun things to do with food so next time I guess. We did try a combination of yahtzee and marble painting with dried beans, paint, yogurt containers, and paper. I thought that if we put the paint in the container with some beans and put the lid on SHAKE IT, and then dump the beans onto the paper below it would be exciting. It was interesting but found out less if more with the paint in this situation. Marble painting seems to work out much easier as far as mixing colors and such. Our food stamps we great, I am a huge fan of potato stamping - easy and you can cut whatever shapes you want or need. Red peppers were great and apples are another favorite!
I would like to say a big hello to the new brother in Lily and Nadia's house. Hooray girls, and welcome baby boy.
