In North Ave Art Works, Kids explore a variety of art supplies to create, learn, and expand their creative thinking with open-ended craft projects, sensory toys, and fine motor skills tools. Whatever the day, North Avenue Art Works brings arts and crafts to kids, ages 1 to 8, at their level, at their pace, and on their schedule.

Join us to create treasures from upcycled materials, learn the potential of an egg carton or cardboard tube, polish your fine motor skills by stringing beads on a necklace, or learning about color mixing by experimenting with paint. Once your child has created their artistic masterpiece or simply explored the wonders of the sandbox, they are free to move on to any of the other exciting experiences Wonder Works offers. You can find the full weekly schedule on our calendar of events.

During the month of March, the explorations in the Art Room were all about DOTS! We learned about contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama and the use of dots in her work with our own, mini version of her interactive work The Obliteration Room. Guests large and small had a chance to add dot stickers to our white canvas “room.” They connected the Dots even further to create their own dot paintings using corks and golf balls, and experimented with watercolor salt painting.
