Class Experience
Drop-In Play is for toddlers & kids to play and explore art materials in a safe, open environment with no formal instruction. Kids can move between different sensory stations at their own pace, sparking their curiosity and creativity. This class encourages hands-on discovery, allowing children to experience art through touch, sound, color, and texture.
*Tuesday-Friday Drop-In Play will be on pause during Spring Break Camp (March 31st-April 4th) and Summer Camp (June 2nd-August 8th). Saturday Drop-In Play will remain scheduled during these breaks.
Other Things To Know
We encourage adults to join in the fun by supporting and engaging with their little ones. Whether that means helping with materials, cheering on their creations, or simply being present to share in the joy, your involvement helps make the experience even more special!

It's clean.

I was really disappointed in the class. Yes, my 5 year old is very artistically inclined and I felt the activities were really geared towards toddlers. I believe open play is meant for 1-10 year olds. I can't imagine bringing a 10 year old. The activities were really simple in nature and not many of them. Nothing I couldn't have set up at home. I'm looking for something unique and wouldn't have the time to set up at home. A cool experience. $30 for stamps and beads on a pipe cleaner...
