Pre-school Art Adventures

Printmaking Kids Class

Every Tuesday, 11:30am-12:00pm

Ages: 2-5, accompanied by an adult guardian

Pre-registration is not required  

Using paper, paint, markers, crayons, and glue, preschool artists and their adult helpers share fun art projects to encourage creativity and develop basic art skills. Pre-school Art activities focus on process. Young artists practice skills in using pencils, scissors, glue, paint, etc. with the assistance of their parent/guardian helpers. Basic art vocabulary such as color, line, and shape are reinforced. Children are encouraged to listen to and follow directions as well as to help clean up after themselves. 

Suggested donation $3 per child of non-members. Free with membership. If cost is a barrier, please enjoy free of charge or pay what you can!

Why do we ask for a suggested donation for our Preschool Art?

  • ✨ Safe Environment & Non-Toxic professional art supplies in a clean, safe environment
  • 🖌️ Helps keep our doors open and cover essentials like front desk staffing and utilities
  • 👩‍🎨 Pay Expert Teachers trained in early childhood art and development
