Itty Bitty Artists
Suggested ages 1-4
Every Tuesday from 10am - 10:45am
(while Marysville School are in session)
Itty Bitty Artists is designed to provide your little ones with a fun and safe learning environment. Every week we will have a different theme related play time. During Itty Bitty Artists we will read stories, explore puppets, play with theme related toys/props, create art projects, learn to play nicely with friends and share.
This class is FREE for art league members, just bring your donation item. Non-members, it is $5.00/family each week plus the donation item. Please check next to the date to find out what the "donation item" will be. All children must be accompanied by a parent/caregiver. If you'd like to become an art league member, click here Art League memberships are SUPER affordable and you'll receive discounts on all other classes as well!! A family membership is just $25 FOR THE YEAR!!!
PLEASE NOTE: IF MARYSVILLE SCHOOLS IS CANCELLED, SO IS ITTY BITTY ARTISTS. WE WILL ALSO CANCEL IF THERE IS A 2 HOUR DELAY. IF THERE IS NO SCHOOL SCHEDULED, WE WILL NOT BE HAVING ITTY BITTY ARTISTS. SHOULD WE HAVE TO CANCEL DUE TO ILLNESS/UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES, IT WILL BE POSTED ON THE ART LEAGUE FACEBOOK PAGE AS WELL AS ON THE ITTY BITTY ARTISTS FACEBOOK PAGE.
Donation items are one item per participating child. Dollar stores are GREAT resources for finding these items and keeping this activity affordable for you & your child. If you have more than one child attending, you can always have one bring the donation item and the other(s) can always bring paper towels, tissues or toilet paper.
PLEASE DRESS FOR A MESS!!! We do have child size smocks but you're also welcome to bring your own :)
If you have any questions please contact Bobbi Dailey at ittybittyartists@yahoo.com

Open Studio is meant to allow the children to have time to freely explore the art supplies and activities. We don't always have a theme, the art projects are open ended and meant for exploration rather than finished products.
As always, the premise of our program is to provide and safe and encouraging environment for the children to learn and explore at their own pace and comfort level. We run on a child directed schedule. If you notice that your child is becoming overwhelmed or is done exploring for the day, please feel free to leave, we won't be offended.
Please encourage your little ones to play with other children but do not force it. Parallel play (playing next to rather than with another child) is completely age appropriate. We pride ourselves on providing the children with many choices, however please encourage them to use the supplies appropriately.
** We DO NOT have class during winter break for Marysville Schools. We will see everyone back on January 7th, 2020**
