Crafty Gift Ideas for Little Hands
When I shop for kids’ gifts, I look for things that will keep their hands busy. To help with your shopping I’ve curated a few shopping lists, based by age. This list is for your preschool and early elementary aged kids.
How Art Can Reduce Anxiety
What can we do to help our kids? Even when the world is safe and there isn’t anything to be anxious over, once those feelings of panic, confusion and powerlessness have been triggered, it’s best to focus on helping your child calm his body down.
Drawing Through the Pandemic: Coryn
Here’s another shameless plug for kids taking an art class. Yes, it’s because I’m the founder Young Rembrandts, the coolest and only drawing program out there – but mostly because after years of research, I know how much doing art affects a child’s social-emotional well-being, while expanding brain function overall.
Drawing Through the Pandemic: Diego
At Young Rembrandts we’ve been interviewing kids that have been drawing with us this past year. For some kids, drawing was a way to continue the classes they were used to at school. For others, it was a way to keep their minds off the stress they were feeling around them.
Foster Creative Play
In order to prevent learning loss over the summer, encourage creative play and finding ways to continue learning while still having lots of fun and being exposed to new and interesting things.
Counting Down to Summer
This last month of school can be challenging for everyone. Kids are squirrely. Parents are feeling burned out from all the end of year activities and a full year of homework battles. And, teachers are at their wits end trying to keep everyone engaged just a little bit longer. Not to worry, we have some great ideas for brain breaks and alternative learning activities to keep the kids interested.
Spring Sessions Enrolling Now
Children who learn to draw using the Young Rembrandts method develop spatial reasoning and fine motor skills, order and sequencing abilities, visualization, and self-discipline as well as fundamental art skills. Enroll your child in a class at her school today.
Everybody Needs to Know They’re Special
Who doesn’t want to hear they’re awesome?! For the most part, awesome is in the eyes of the beholder and as parents of visual kids we can see the awesome and appreciate all the special quirks and talents that come with being a visual learner. A creative type, whose room is pile after pile of experiments or projects, who drives us absolutely crazy trying to get out the door on time and who can make a 10 minute homework assignment last all afternoon.
Inspire Your Heart with Art
Tomorrow is Inspire Your Heart with Art day! And, Young Rembrandts has been inspiring hearts by teaching kids to draw for 30 years! Participation in art programs has a profound impact -on who children are and how effectively they learn.
