A gentle, fun introduction to storytelling, this class is perfect for the budding writer who needs a little help clarifying their ideas as well as students who need to grow their writing confidence. We'll discuss the basic ingredients in a story, and then a basic story recipe. Students will then spend about fifteen minutes creating their own stories! This class is best for students under ten who are able to write independently, though of course, younger students are welcome-- they just might need a little more help from their adults.

FREE ART CLASS: Cozy Fall Bear Painting
Paint a cozy sweater-wearing bear. Use acrylic craft paints or kids tempera paints. With only a few supplies, this is a fun and easy painting project. To save time, we'll be using a template that you can trace, or print on card stock and paint directly on the template. Consider painting on a canvas and gifting to grandparents. Otherwise, this works just fine on paper as well.
Sign up for our email list and get the template sent straight to your inbox for easy access.
