What they’ll learn: Art is an activity with a great deal of benefits across the ages. Children especially can gain a great deal from expressing themselves through art as their communication skills are still developing. When creative thinking like visual art is introduced early in life, it can help kids relate to the world around them. Artistic expressions such as painting and sculpting help develop fine motor skills. Ages: 2+ Time Commitment: 1 hour per week Cost: $20 per class Kids art instruction usually begins around age 2 with basic instruction and simple tools like fingers, sponges and thick brushes. More advanced instruction begins around 5 years of age where they begin to explore different mediums, tools and styles.
