Create & Play the Colonial Way

🎉 Celebrate America's 250th Birthday — Colonial Style! 🇺🇸

Only $10 per class


Starting Saturday, June 14th (yes, that's Flag Day!), your child is invited to step back in time with Create & Play – The Colonial Way at Art Cart Kids.

 

T​hese playful, hands-on classes are designed for for all children to experience the creativity, stories, and everyday joys of life in early America.

Each class includes a fun, art project inspired by colonial life. These classes are teacher directed but children under 5 will likely need a parent’s help.

And the best part? It’s simple and convenient:

Choose from two Saturday class times:
• 1:00–1:45 PM
• 2:00–2:45 PM


Enroll in one or come every week — each class is sold separately and features a different project.

Only 8 children per session — just 16 total spots per project — so if you're thinking of joining, now’s the time to grab your spot.

And while your child sings songs, hears stories about life in the 1700s, and dives into art — you can relax in our comfy, air-conditioned waiting room if they’re working independently. No drop-offs please.

Ready to join the fun?
 

Let’s make this summer one to remember — the colonial way!
