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!

How to age-appropriate Slime? We believe one medium can be ameliorated to multi-level learning through creative programming…. And here’s how!
While the mixture of the Slime is the same, the Art Challenges we present are not.
Combining museum-inspired work with an art education for any age- with keen age-appropriated challenges is what makes this curriculum unique. While making art, children are inspired by the art of NYC and the world, even recognizing major artists and styles at ages 3 & 4 years old.
For example, when Joseph Cornell exhibited at the Met., Claire knew this was a great opportunity to keep her slime-crazed students happy– by having them design apothecary-style Joseph Cornell boxes with a wide array of high-end papers and materials, including chalkboard paper and white acrylic markers to write their own French words. Then she took them to the museum.
Using found objects & a decoupage technique, students made shadow boxes for their slimes(!) with an apothecary look, a signature aspect of Assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. Assemblage Art is a form of sculpture comprised of any organic or man-made material/ found objects & assembled together to create a piece based on each child’s choices and personalities. We brainstormed, collected, arranged and layered to visualize aspects of ourselves and to construct a memory in a box.
Students’ addition of white charcoal pencil, Chinese ink, brushes, calligraphy, letters and words (also French!) helped us to also discover the fun in designing their shadow boxes!
