Along with being an author and speaker, I have a ‘side job’ as the CEO of Young Rembrandts Franchise, an art enrichment program for kids 3 to 12years old. After teaching thousands of children how to draw in the Chicago suburbs, we became a franchise company eleven years ago. Now, there are Program Directors across the country and internationally, that hires and train remarkable individuals to teach art to children, using the Young Rembrandts method.

You may not need another activity to add to an already busy spring, but in case you’re looking for some get-me-going inspiration, here are a few fun activities to share with your family…
Build an Art Spot. The key to success is to make sure your spot is well supplied; and that little artists can utilize it without the need of adult supervision. This means washable mediums; and place-mats, aprons or old clothes that make clean up a cinch. If you’re short on room, a low and easy-to-open drawer works well – loaded with paper and compartmentalized, tote-able supply bins. Want to really go all out with your space? Here are some amazing ideas to inspire you.
No TV Family Nights. Try “Play Night” where the kids or the whole family can dress for the event and put on a play. Here are some free playscripts to follow. You could also organize a “Kids Choice Night”; kids can pick their dinner and an activity from a parent-approved list; like bowling, a drawing session, or a backyard camp-out!
Dancing with the Stars is a big hit at our house. As avid supporters of the arts we love the costumes, set and lighting design and of course the choreography and dancing. Last Tuesday night, Dancing with the Stars featured a youth dance team. The story of the Camden Sophisticated Sisters Drill Team was incredibly inspiring and a powerful example of the impact the arts have on young lives. This after school dance program is literally saving lives and bringing hope to a place there is little hope.
