Enjoy this super easy (and free!) card-making project with Bubble wrap makes cool prints on cards with paint! (or any recyclable material with texture)
Kids LOVE popping bubbles in bubblewrap! Keep them busy & their fingers strong with this fun printing activity- while using up packaging to boot! (or get a sheet from UPS or Staples.) Don’t have bubblewrap handy? Look around the home for textured materials to cut into hearts! Materials: Scissors; marker, white or colored paper; paint brush, paint or ink pad, paper towels or newspaper + bubble wrap
Pop all the bubbles first on the bubble wrap! Fold a piece of paper in 1/2 or in 1/4. On a flat surface, lay down newspaper or paper towels. Then, with a marker, draw a (large) heart shape onto the bubble wrap that will fit your folded paper. Cut the bubble wrap heart shape. Next, place layer of paint on the bubble wrap with a brush, and then lay it carefully face-down onto the paper, press with out moving and lift. (Set aside for more prints of various colors!) Finally, Write Happy Valentine’s Day! To: ___________ From __________ on the front or the back. Add stickers, glue and glitter or a message as to why you LOVE them!

Enjoy cold winter days with this creatively comprehensive monthly series: Story-Based Travel & Cultural Exploration via Virtual or Live Artistic Development in Drawing, Crafting, Sculpting and Building. Direct endless energy… as Movement & Dance bonus videos enrich the adventure!
For those days when it’s too cold for kids to play outside, I’ve amassed a hyper-creative library of activities that will keep students entertained and educated. Claire and CCA want to spend time with your children this winter in the arts & literacy series Story Adventures! They’ll find a renewed sense of excitement for learning in 2021 through arts and crafts, imaginary travel and even physical activities that give that (seemingly endless) energy a place to go. I’ll be sure to include someactivities for parents to do as well – after all, we all need a creative and physical activity break!
Your child will be an active participant! I’m sure it has been reassuring to you to know you were able to enjoy yourown timewhile they were with me in class – doing what you need to do so you can come together as a family later. Each week, a new Story Adventure will provide that time for you- by keeping your child interested, occupied and intrigued as the stories unfold. In the first book, Claire will introduce your children to the Empire Penguins in the South Pole, where two very different friends, a penguin named Scarlett and a polar bear named Polie first meet.
Literacy meets artin an interactive 3-D Art Adventure kids create and build themselves while reading along with (or being read to) stories of friendship, adventure and different cultures. We journey along with 1 illustrated book per month, plus CCA’s fun-filled Art Kits providing everything for your child.
With so many materials and choices provided, they can only be successful! Your child will be occupied and intrigued while spending up to 3 hours per week, learning new fine and gross body skills, memory exercises, languages andcultures while expanding important artistic horizons this year. Older students become illustrators and inventive craftsmen, while younger students create willingly and freely whatever they choose to make.
Work at your own pace and time of day convenient for your family. We have a suggested time schedule to help frame your week’s activities. All materials are mailed out to you prior to start. Virtual Fun is provided through Google Classroom and one optional 45 minute online live-stream session each week (recorded and uploaded for busy schedules.) We even provide administrative assistance, so that your child’s experience is first class.
CCA will release thesenew live and online classes January 18th. Claire will engage and interact with your children both online and @ All Souls Church.Kids ages 3.5- 9 years will be stimulated by creative new ideas and achievements that they will be excited to share with their family and friends!
