ART studios for kids

Talk about inspiration, Meri Cherry has got it going on

 every single day, honestly cannot keep up with her! 

Honored to be included here in her pick of incredible inspired art studios for kids . 

I love looking into spaces and creative places for children. Everyone has a different vision but we all mostly have the same mission.  When I first started summer ART, carrying Eli on my hip, I had classes in my kitchen, back porch and backyard - it was perfect. It almost doesn't matter about the space, it's the energy you bring to it. 

It's about the kids and they make the space. 

We moved beehive two years ago.  At the time, it was a sad day for us as we left our spacious studio with a cute store front. We've settled into our new home  and I LOVE it. It's small and efficient. Everything has its place, it's bright and cheery. It comes with incredible sunlight and a beautiful outdoor space. It's a space for kids. 

Below is Meri's outdoor art space which I am cuckoo over. 

I want to spend the afternoon in there with her and her girls making ART.

Thank you Meri. 

Marbling with shaving cream

 Adding drops of color 

Gently swirling

                                                   Pressing  paper on to swirled color

                                         Peeling paper off, this is where it gets globby but keep going

                                                    Scraping excess shaving cream off of paper

                                                                               MAGIC!

Printing is big at beehive. 

Marbling is also. 

This is a combination of both. Colorful, magical AND it smells good. 

WE could have printed all day.
We used photograph paper for a smooth glossy surface and finish.
Liquid water colors, shaving cream, droppers, scrapers and paper - you will need a stack!
