Happy Time Together: Read Books and Make Art!
Age Range: Ages 3-5
Happy Time Together is a joyful class for preschoolers and their caregivers that blends early literacy with creative exploration. Each session begins with a beautifully illustrated picture book, thoughtfully chosen to spark curiosity, conversation, and connection. After the story, children and adults work side-by-side on an art project inspired by the book’s themes, characters, emotions, and other artistic elements.
This class supports:
Early literacy by building vocabulary, listening skills, and print awareness
Explorations of self-expression through open-ended art materials and guided prompts
Creative confidence as children make choices and explore their ideas visually
Quality time for caregivers and kids to connect through stories and shared creative adventures
Projects are developmentally appropriate and designed to encourage exploration and human connection.
Caregivers must accompany all young artists, and babies are welcome without any tuition fee if necessary. All supplies and materials provided by Happy Time Studio.
