Discover a unique after school experience where children aged 5 to 10 engage with popular children's stories through creative expression. This hands-on program blends traditional literacy skills with art, allowing kids to make meaningful connections with the stories they hear.
Each session encourages children to explore mixed materials and create their own artwork inspired by the stories, fostering both imagination and a love of reading. By the end of the hour, every child will have a special piece of art to take home and cherish.
