"Cozy-up" Creative Art Activities with Your Littles

In proud partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, Give Kids Art was invited to participate in virtual Zoom programming. As of April 14, we are running our art programs on Zoom with the kids at the Mar Vista Gardens branch every Tuesday. Our first week was a blast, and we loved reuniting with the kids and seeing all of their smiling faces!

Since art supplies are very limited for children in this community, we made and provided the kids with art kits filled with a variety of materials, so they could continue creating fearlessly from home as well as with us on Zoom. Our custom art kits contain: watercolor paper, crayons, colored pencils, watercolor paints, and paint brushes.

If you or your little ones have paper (or old cardboard to draw on) and some crayons, pencils, or markers at home, you can participate in the fun, too. We thought we’d share our weekly Zoom art projects so you can join us! We’ll be adding new projects every week.
