This parent/child class is a sweet mixture of laid back preschool, a visit to grandma’s house and an outdoor adventure.  This is a place for kids to explore and create with paint, glue, play dough and all sorts of art supplies, have fun with real cooking, listen to stories and play with friends.  At camp parents (grownups) will have just as much fun as the kids and there’s no clean up when you’re finished playing.   This will be primarily an outdoor experience.  We’ll start each class with an informal circle time on the lawn including a few songs and maybe a story.  Then everyone is free to explore and do the projects which will be set up for the kids to do with their grown up at their own pace.  This summer I’m planning lots of gardening for the kids to help with and yoga on my new outdoor yoga deck “studio”.  Bring a lunch and we’ll all gather together on the lawn for a picnic and a closing story.  Come join the fun!

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the things we’ll be doing include making cute little gnomes from branches,  BIG  painting, back by popular demand-Goopy Soup!, stick picture frames, father’s day portraits, we’ll make a fairy door, there will be cooking and sewing and yoga and gardening….the fun never ends!  As always I’ll have projects the grown- ups will enjoy too
