💫 This previously sold-out pop-up is back! 💫

A fun creative project based on the super-popular and lovable Squishmallows! What better way to spend a Friday after-school or a Bernard’s Township school half-day?
Kids aged 7+ will create their own Squishmallow on a canvas board to take home. Using fabrics and accessories they will have the chance to build their own dream squishy character. 🐮 🐱 🐼 🐰 🐶
Strictly for children aged 7+ with good fine motor skills due to the nature of this craft that requires sharp scissors.
$65 per child (+ credit card fee) includes all materials and a nut-free after school snack.

Happy 4th Birthday to Juliana! 🌺

This sweet girl absolutely adores summer, so we threw the perfect Luau Party to celebrate! 🌴 Friends, cousins, and brothers enjoyed choosing colorful leis, crafting sun-catcher turtles, creating personalized sunglasses and pencil cases. With the catchy tunes of Lilo and Stitch playing in the background, the party crew also danced and savored delicious pizza and cupcakes! 🍕🧁

As a special surprise, the kids received adorable Luau-themed Play-Doh jars filled with the cutest accessories from Amanda Gardner (local small company)

We’ve been receiving a flurry of exciting party inquiries lately and can’t wait to dive into the planning! From trending or unique themes such as Spider-Man and Cheetah Art Parties, to new twists on our beloved classics like sleepunder, Lego, and spa parties. We love hearing about what your children are into! 💫

We’re now booking parties from September through January, so don’t hesitate to secure your date today!

The Find & Found Art Club: Sketchbook Sessions: Junk Journal Workshop 💫

Turn forgotten papers and found treasures into a journal that’s completely your own! In this hands-on workshop, kids will create their own junk journal using a mix of recycled and secondhand materials—old book pages, maps, magazines, envelopes, postcards, fabric scraps, ribbon, and other fun finds.

We’ll build and personalize our journals, create pockets and layered pages, experiment with collage, and fill them with little details that tell a story.

There’s no right or wrong way to make a junk journal! This class is all about layering, experimenting, and finding new possibilities in things that might otherwise be thrown away. All materials will be provided and everyone will leave with a one-of-a-kind journal they can continue adding to long after the workshop is over but kids are also welcome to bring paper treasures from home—photos, ticket stubs, notes, drawings, stickers, or anything else they’d like to include.

Monday, September 21st 1-3pm
Cost: $65/pp
Participants Ages 2nd - 5th grade
