What a fun week at Summer Art Camp! 🎨✨
Our young artists stayed busy creating, painting, experimenting with resin, exploring mosaic activities, and making new friends at The Painted Butterfly in Fairfax, Iowa. We loved seeing their creativity and confidence grow with every project!
Missed this session? Good news! Our July Summer Art Camp is almost here, and spots are limited. If you're looking for a fun, hands-on kids camp near Cedar Rapids and Fairfax where kids can create, learn, and have a blast, now is the time to register.

🦋 Psst, parents... we know the struggle.
You want to take the kids somewhere fun -- not crowded, not chaotic, not another place where someone ends up crying in a parking lot. 😅
Open Paint at The Painted Butterfly is your answer. 🎨✨
Drop in, pick a project, and make something awesome together. Your littles can build a stuffed animal, create a glowing resin night light, or paint a sparkly suncatcher they'll actually want to hang in their room. 🌟
And hey -- there's plenty of cool stuff for YOU too. Because parents deserve to make things, not just watch. 😉
Families that create together... leave with really cute stuff together
