New Art Classes at Community Children’s Museum in February

Sometimes it is too darn cold for the children to play outside. So here is a great indoor program:

The Community Children’s Museum is now offering creative and fun art classes for children K-2nd grade and for Preschoolers 3-5 years old starting in February at 77 East Blackwell St., Dover, NJ. The enthusiasm and knowledge of Courtney Maxwell, a Masters in Art Education, will inspire and excite the children for both classes. The Art Exploration Class for Kg-2nd graders will be held on Monday’s from 4-5pm and will have the children experimenting with paper making, print making, clay work and painting. At the end of the class they can display their great works of art in a group show at the museum’s art gallery. This process oriented, after school art class will bring Art Play back into children’s lives.  A child can sign up for just one class at $12 or the four classes to receive the discount rate of $43.  It is mandatory to pre register for each class. Parents can stay or drop off their child.

Preschoolers 3-5 years old will love this other kind of story time where they become the characters in the book. The class will focus on one story and the children will make the simple props and costumes for the telling of the story on the last day of class for the parents/caregivers. This imaginative program will be held on Tuesday’s from 10am-11am starting February 8th at the museum. Parents must stay for each class. A child can sign up for just one class at $7 or the four classes to receive the discount rate of $25.  It is mandatory to pre register for each class. Call 973-366-9060 or email ccmuseum@gmail.com to sign up today. Visit visit www.communitychildrensmuseum.org for more information.
