Sunny Days and Waterplay: Art and Sensory Adventures for Toddlers!

Age: 2 – 3 year olds

Day: Mondays

Time: 3:30pm – 4:15pm 

4:30pm – 5:15pm

Location: Payson classroom

# of Sessions: 8

Fee per child: $167.80

This art class will be all about celebrating the summer sunshine and the wonders of water! Children will get to explore two to three process-based art lessons and sensory activities each week. We’ll paint sunbeams, rainbows, collage ocean waves, sand castles, watermelons and popsicles, and along the way, we’ll explore the physical properties of water in our sensory bins. This will be a hands-on class, where children will be encouraged to explore freely, and get messy! As such, please send children in mess-able clothes and be forewarned that you might get a splash here and there too. 

*This class requires a caregiver to accompany each child and help out with small tasks like holding a jar of paint, or tying a knot, and generally helping children to engage and focus.

The ABCs of Summer: Art and Early Literacy Adventures

Age: 3 – 5 year olds

Day: Mondays

Time: 5:30pm – 6:15pm 

Location: Payson classroom

# of Sessions: 8

Fee per child: $167.80

This class will combine art and sensory activities designed to promote the burgeoning literacy skills of the preschool-kindergarten age group. We’ll read stories about summertime and vacations and share our own stories aloud. We’ll practice manipulating paintbrushes, pastels, pencils, and scissors while expanding our phonological awareness, and shape and pattern recognition. Specifically, we’ll target the following early literacy skills:

1.  Pencil/writing utensil grip 
2. Drawing straight and curved lines 
3. Creating repetitive patterns
4. Remembering and retelling a story 

Each week children will get a chance to explore two to three art and sensory activities designed to hone these skills while we learn about rainbows, sunbeams, sand castles, waves, fountains, lemonade, popsicles, and much more! 

*This is a drop off class with a required helper rotation 

*Children will be encouraged to explore freely and get messy, so please make sure to send them in mess-able clothes
