Artsy Thursday

04.14.2016 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

The idea is notto live forever,but to createsomethingthat will.

Think, problem solve, create

Children develop creativity, social skills and fine motor skills with open-ended art projects where they can make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands. On Artsy Thursday celebrate the joy and learning children experience when engaged in creative art making. Use any materials – from crayons to paint, clay to crafts! Create and share a photos of your children’s creations on NAEYC’s Facebook page or Twitter using the #woyc16 hashtag.

Want to engage your kids in art, try one of these super fun ideas! Like what you see? Check out pintrest page for more great kid-friendly projects.

Eliza, MiniBury Founder

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
