International home furnishings giant, IKEA, invited KidzArt to play a part in their 25th anniversary celebration in Kuwait last week.
As part of IKEA’s social responsibility program and the anniversary festivities, KidzArt was asked to provide art classes for children in a gallery at the main entrance of the IKEA store. The KidzArt classes were surrounded by transparent partitions plastered with the KidzArt logo, so parents and the public could view the children’s creativity in action!
With over 10,000 visitors passing through the store over the weekend, hundreds of children took part in the drawing, painting and activities that KidzArt offered.
Check out this photograph and more details from IKEA on KidzArt’s part in the celebration.

Celebrate the Teachers at Your School
Author: shell
A teacher’s greatest reward is being on the receiving end of appreciation and gratitude from current and past students as well as their parents. During Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8th), take the time to recognize or do something special for a teacher that you or your child are fond of or one that has had an huge impact on your lives.
Here are some ideas of how to say “Thanks”:
1. Encourage your child to write a poem or a song about his or her teacher.
3. Help your child show his or her gratitude by giving a one-of-a-kind gift. Put your child’s artwork on a fun product to make the perfect Teacher’s gift. Check out the selection of customizable Teachers gifts at www.KidzArtProducts.com. It’s a unique way to say “Thanks” for all that teachers do!
