WHAT IS GIVING ARTFULLY KIDS?
Giving Artfully Kids is a program that enriches the lives of our children by helping them make a difference through crafting-based service learning projects for teachers, parents, administrators, after school programs, and camps. We believe that the process of creating is a valuable tool to teach kids about the concept of giving. Our project based curriculum teaches children about kindness, compassion, and empathy. It is our goal to inspire children to continue to give to others.
We currently offer 3 different services:
CLASSES/WORKSHOPS/CAMPS - if you are in the Oak Park, River Forest, Illinois area, join us in one of our locations for one our classes/ workshop or summer camp.
