Visit our Birthday Party page at www.mountpleasantcc.ca for full details on all parties. 1-4 yrs Instructor: Sylvia Richman This is a great, fun way to intoduce your child starting around 1, 2 or 3 years of age, to artmaking without tears. Sylvia has been working with little ones for the past several years and has established a routine that works well for them. It is very important to allow for considerable repetition of the newly learned skills, to ensure familiarity, comfort & success. Sylvia introduces them to peeling stickers, coloring with markers, stamping with different stamps and colored inks, and most delightfully, - fingerpainting with hands and brushes, using only non-toxic, water soluble materials. At the end of the session, each child usually has a scrapbook (featuring a photo of the tot on the cover), filled with his/her art made in the classes. We build in time to play with toys during the last 10 minutes, so the adults can glue the artwork into the scrapbooks after each session, (sometimes with the help of the child.) Each child must have an adult present at the session. Jan 30-Apr 17 -----F- 12310.101MP 9:45am-10:30am $102.50/10 sess This is a wonderful way to start your child with art and music.
