Make Refrigerator-Worthy Masterpieces With These Art Classes for Kids
My house is covered in crafts.
Whether it’s the latest watercolor painting, a freshly built Play-Doh snowman, or a cardboard house awaiting Barbie’s return, this extracurricular activity is everywhere.
While I have attempted to organize these mini masterpieces, I’ve realized that my efforts are futile: the crafts always win. I now focus my efforts on how to best display the work of my pint-size Picassos and foster their love of art.
Luckily, my search for art classes for kids was a short one: Kalamazoo is home to many options for kids art classes.
Read on to find the right class for your child (and don’t forget to clear some space on the fridge).
