FACT #1: Nurturing our children's creativity is important
Creativity is increasingly considered one of the most important factors for success.
Art is naturally linked to creativity and is an especially easy and fun way to foster children’s creativity. The benefits of art in childhood also include problem-solving abilities, literacy, fine & gross motor skills, connection with others, and a greater understanding of themselves and the world.
FACT #2: Modern family life is busy
It just is.
You know art is an important way to foster your children’s creativity, but life is just so darned busy.
You’ve been pinning boards full of art activities to do with the kids someday, but when? And how? Just getting started seems overwhelming!
FACT #3: Video is a powerful teaching tool
With video classes, you can easily introduce kids to art activities and techniques at home, even if you don’t consider yourself creative. Video is a powerful and inspiring way to learn (no matter your child’s learning style). Unfortunately, YouTube is a hot mess of content and ads, and most online instruction is aimed at adults.

Learn with the Power of Video
We offer video art classes so that it's easier for you and your kids to learn new art activities and techniques. Choose from videos on drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, crafts, and more with new episodes added each week and helpful printables for each activity.
Inspire Creative & Confident Drawing
We have created a library of drawing prompts so that your kids will have fun drawing and thinking more creatively. Print out one or more of the drawing activity sheets to offer your kids at home, while traveling, or to occupy time at restaurants and waiting rooms.
What People Are Saying...
My daughter did the art activities on her own or with a friend, with little intervention from me. I was surprised by how useful it was for the kids to watch a video tutorial.
The activities you chose were such that after the kids learned the technique, they wanted to try more and more ideas using the same technique.

More Testimonials for the KIDS ART SPOT
We are super happy we are part of the Kids Art Club! I love how easy it is to find something quickly to do with my daughter! - Jaime Griffin
I find most value in the videos. My children can’t read well yet so it’s liberating for them to be able to collect the materials and do the activity after watching the videos. I also like the tips for how to differentiate the activity at the end of the videos.
We watched the video about making art with washi tape and then the kids made their own pieces of art. They were inspired by the face shown in the video and enjoyed making their own faces! It was a great activity, and the video was helpful for the kids to get started independently. I didn’t have to do anything, just gave them the tape and paper. - Jaclyn Bentley
We are enjoying this program! We are in a busy season of life and my oldest is a self starter. We are hoping to continue to carve out space for more activities and make the tweaks needed in our household to get the most out of our membership. Thank you for creating this space. - Katie Redington
I am thrilled to be a part of a club created for families to enjoy making and learning about art together. I homeschool my children and use many of your resources to help enrich their lives with art and creativity. - Emily Yancer Watson

FAQs
The KIDS ART SPOT is created for preschoolers through tweens. Younger and older children can join in for the art fun, but we had kids aged 3 through 10 in mind when creating many of the activities and videos. That said, there will be some activities that are better suited to older children and some that will appeal more to younger ones.
There will be a materials list for each activity, so you and your children can identify the materials you need ahead of time. Most of the art activities use a few widely available art supplies and household ingredients. You probably have many of the materials already! Some activities, may call for materials that you don’t already have on hand, such as contact paper, shaving cream, or liquid watercolors. In that case you can choose to buy them, use an alternative, or find another activity from the KIDS ART SPOT library. All materials should be easy to find at a local supermarket or craft store.
It depends on the activity, the child, and the family! The kids' art videos are set up so that a school-aged child could do them primarily on his or her own. You could also do some of the activities together with your child the first time (an excellent way to connect through creativity!) and then let them explore the art activity on their own in the future, once they have the knowledge and confidence from trying it once.
I hear you! Art can be messy. But so can childhood and life in general. I help you and your family minimize the art messes as much as possible. In our kids art videos, we have a section called Set Up for Success, after we Gather our Materials and before we start to create. A big part of setting up for success is making sure we protect our work surface and set up properly. I’ve had years of experience doing these activities with my own kids and in art groups, so I can help you maximize the fun while making the clean up as stress-free as possible. Sometimes this means using a tray or art mat, sometimes it means covering the entire table with a waterproof tablecloth (you can pick up a cheap plastic one for a dollar or two and reuse it many times).
