The Preschool Art Workshop is for children aged 3-5 and is similar to story hour at the library with more of a focus toward art. Each week will be based on a different theme. We’ll start each workshop by reading a few books, followed by some activities and games. Then the children will create an arts and crafts project and explore many different mediums such as painting, finger painting, collage and watercolors. A fun first art experience discovering various artistic materials.

Our preschool program begins with a few songs which are listed here if you wanted to familiarize your child/children with them.  Beginning in this way, with these routines and patterns gives children a sense of what to expect each week.

We begin with “It’s Storytime” and that tune signals to the children it’s time to settle down and that we are starting the program. Then we sing, “Open Shut Them.” After that we do the fingerplay, “The Storytime Song for Children,” to help get the wiggles out before we begin reading our books. After our books and games we’ll sing, “Clap Your Hands,” which is a fun, lively song children love to take part in before we create our art project. 

Is your child younger, but you feel they’d do well in a program like this? Please contact me as I’ve had many younger children in this program who have flourished with a little additional help from their parents.
