PreSchoolers Make Groovy Art
The "Creative Tots" class yesterday morning was so much FUN but I am always sad at the last session. Our new five-week session at Reach Studio Art Center begins on April 5th. The kids have been most playful, adventurous and creative--a great way to wait out the long winter!
