Our shop has closed its doors…
Closing our online store has been bittersweet. So much hard work and love has gone into our store and it’s been tough to let it go. It doesn’t mean that we won’t source great products and share them with you anymore, we just won’t be the ones selling them to you. Through our new blog, we’ll be sharing these great finds as well as helpful tips and information for your kids’ creative journey. And of course, we’ll finally be able to fully focus on our design services for children’s art spaces.
I for one, am excited to get back to doing what I love- which is focusing on you, your art space, and how to keep your kids engaged in the creative process.
Thank you so much for your continued support!

The new Make+Believe art studio has opened! After a long month of moving the studio, getting the classes filled, and finding the right teachers we have finally begun our fall session. Here is a look into the new space- it’s small, but feels just right for our little tots.
For our first week of the session, we began with finger/wacky object painting for the 1’s and 2s classes. The returning students never get tired of messy painting, while the new children get to explore the tempera paints and wacky tools that will soon become very familiar. This activity is also a great way to show the children (and parents!) that this studio is place for messy exploration and open-ended creativity.
The easels are a always a big hit with the younger classes.
The 3s/4s classes began by mixing their own colors to use in their paintings. Quite a bit of time was spent squeezing and stirring the primary colors to see what new and interesting colors they could create.
The kids had fun getting to know their teachers as well!
At the end of each class, everyone washed up in the water table outside and got to explore the new garden area of the GROW Art & Garden Education Center. The chickens, the fort, and the hay bales were especially enticing!
