The big E word - the economy - is on everyone’s mind, and that it should be!  It is more important than ever to watch what we spend and plan for a stable future.  We must create a balance on what is important to keep in both our own, as well as our children’s lives.  At KidzArt, we have found that many parents have chosen to keep their little ones in our classes because they are affordable, and most importantly continue to feed their children’s creativity needs as well as nurture little souls who need soothing during stressful times.  Our parents know that KidzArt classes are not only educational, but ultimately serve them in every other area of their lives.  Confidence is boosted, different parts of the brain are used than what they are typically used to in day-to-day school curriculum, and importantly, it’s fun!  KidzArt is a time to enjoy as well as to learn.  How are you continuing to nurture your child in a way that is easy on the pocketbook, yet critical to your child’s future?  If you haven’t yet experienced KidzArt, give your local classes a try.  Visit our website for locations and details on your child can benefit from KidzArt now.  Also, we invite you to join our discussion group through this BLOG to talk about what you do to help your whole family through difficult times.

It’s cold. Really cold.  And at KidzArt we like to keep the holiday warmth coming well into the months following November and December!

It’s the perfect time to create some great firestarters! They make fun winter-time gifts, too!

By using fragrant herbs, plentiful pinecones, old newspaper, and cotton twine or raffia, you can create a classy gift. It’s so easy! You’ll need some all cotton /all raffia (all natural - no colors, no additives) twine, newspaper, a dry pinecone, and a small sprig of lavender or rosemary. Insert the pinecone and herb sprig into the newspaper and roll up. Tie off the ends with your natural string and Voila! A natural and fragrant firestarter.
