Stone! A favorite Kidtivity™ for years, this
activity gives kids the chance to be a little messy
and super creative at the same time. After spending
time squeezing and squishing the special cement
mixture, kids can add tiles, colorful glass, or even
their handprints to embellish this stone and make it
a fantastic gift for Father’s Day or another
occasion. Although we provide some decorative

personalize this stone |

Tile Art
Wed, June 25th,
11am - $8; Ages 5 +
Magnets used to just hold artwork on the fridge- now
they are the artwork on the fridge! Kids need to
bring their artistic savvy to this Kidtivity, so
they ca design and paint our plain tiles and turn

Using our bright paint palette, kids can personalize
these tiles with their favorite items or phrases,
and then take them home to create a tiny art gallery
in their kitchen. |
Clay
Pictures

but we are going to introduce them to a whole new
way of "coloring" pictures! Kids will receive three
3D pictures to decorate by smushing and pushing 8
colors of clay into the pictures to make a vibrant
scene using background cards and picture frames.
Then the clay coloring is done, kids will have great
pictures to decorate their rooms or to give as
gifts. |

Kindermusik |
Kindermusik
is an early childhood music and movement program based
on the beliefs that every child is musical; every parent
is the child’s most important teacher; the home is the
most important place for learning to take root and grow;
and that based on research, music nurtures a child’s
cognitive, emotional, social, language and physical
development. From birth to five years of age, classes
will guide your child to grow with Kindermusik. There is
no pressure to perform, only encouragement to explore,
express and discover. You’ll see a development evolution
in language skills, literacy, listening, problem
solving, social skill, self-esteem and musicality!
