StoryTelling Crafty Story Telling is all about creative writing with illustrations. Your “novelist” will be creating his or her own stories about whatever interests them. They will then create pictures and illustrations using crayons, paint and ink. They will also design their own covers for their books using all kinds of creative embellishments, fabric and drawings. Our focus will be more on creativity than on proper grammar, although, we will emphasize correct spelling and word usage. Our discussions will be centered around writing as a skill, what is a story teller and their own experiences with stories; reading them, telling them and listening to them.

Creative Drama
7-10 Yr. Olds - April 24th to May 29th - Tuesdays 10:00-11:30 - $110.00 + $5.00 materials

We will be working with wire, plaster bandages, newspaper, paints and more. Our character building qualities will be focused on what a real hero is on the inside starting with learning about Aristotle, who coined the phrase and described what the first hero’s attributes should be. One who is honest, integral and trustworthy. We will also be discussing the term “bullying” and what it does to us. They will take home their own version of a hero with the knowledge that they can become a type of hero in their own right, starting from the inside.

Your creative crafter will be learning to use several types of needles, fabrics, threads and embellishments.
