INTRODUCTION TO FREE HAND WEAVING FOR KIDS
Ages 10-17
This class will include constructing a very basic loom on which students will weave fabric that can stand as a wall hanging or even become a small purse, depending on the artistic vision of the child. Each student will create their own loom using frames and nails, or cardboard, depending on what the child is trying to make. They will learn the different terms that go along with looms and learn how to weave fabric and yarn into the loom to create their final result. Students should bring scissors, a permanent marker (such as a Sharpie), and any fabric or yarn they would like to use in their piece. Leader: Carmen Smith. Class Size: 8. Wednesday, April 22 4:30-6:30 p.m. Fee: $35.00
MUSICAL JAMBOREE Ages 2-5 with Adult
Come and make music in this class designed for preschoolers. Participants will dance, play games, sing, listen to stories, and use toy musical instruments to make music. Take home a shaker to decorate and a CD with most of the songs on it the first day of class. Leader: Elaine Sneider. Class Size: 12 children (plus their adults). Monday, April 6, 13, 20, 27, May 4 10:00-10:45am Fee: $43.00
SENSORY 2.0 Ages 0-5 with Adult
Sensory activities help children explore using all 5 senses, building skills that will help them in school. Come learn something new, play and meet other people. Participants will go home with both make-and-takes as well as a handout with many other DIY ideas that are easy on a budget. This class will be similar to the February sensory class, but is worth repeating! Participants will leave with all new ideas and materials. Each child will go home with one sensory bottle and one sensory bin. Leader: Megan Rittenhouse. Class Size: 12 children (plus their adults). Saturday, April 25 10:00-11:00am Fee: $15.00 per child
