I recently enrolled the kids in two classes for 1.5-2.5 year olds at the West Roxbury Community Center. Each 7-session class is only $30 per kid, so I figured we can't go wrong! We had our first "Sticky Fingers" art class this morning. I was able to re-arrange my schedule this week so that we could attend the first class as a family. It was so much fun that I'm hoping to use some vacation time to be able to attend the upcoming classes as well!
Our teacher is Miss Donna and she has been running the class for 4 years. The idea is that the class is a parent-led opportunity for kids to get their hands dirty with different art media. The room is set up with multiple stations, and S&Z had fun this morning going from station to station to explore.
First we did markers on a white board,
There is a sand table,
But the most fun was had with painting on easels!
The class enrollment is capped at 10 kids and the room is plenty big. There are also 4 Little Tykes picnic tables set up in the middle of the room with stamps, crayons, and play-doh. Miss Donna organizes an art project every week. Today it was decorating apples using glue sticks and squares of different colored tissue paper.
After class we did a Target run and then had lunch at the Olive Garden. It's not my favorite restaurant, but it's kid-friendly and was very close to the Target we went to at South Bay Center. I don't think we've ever had such good customer service at a restaurant in Boston! The waitresses were all VERY friendly and kept coming over to talk to Zoe and Silas. The kids were kind enough to cover the tab,
And the tip!
Super fun day and a really nice 4-day weekend. My work week is shifted Tuesday through Friday because I'm attending the Society for Psychophysiological Research conference that is being held in Boston this year. I'm sure I'll be fried by the end of the week!
