We kicked off our mobile art camps with preschoolers ! “Art Explorers” is one of our favorite camps because it introduces young kids to a wide variety of art materials and techniques all while having FUN!

That’s a wrap on our first week of camps! There is a reason Slime Camp sells out every year. So. Much. Fun. Lots of smiling faces and messy hands! Good news is we just opened a 2nd week of this camp in July! Grab your spot before it sells out!!

We’ll be open late this Thursday evening for Overton Square’s showing of Zootopia 2! We’ll have crafts out inspired by the movie. Come create before the movie starts at 7!

Do you have a kid who loves cardboard, tape, hot glue guns and construction challenges? Cardboard Camp is for you! Each year brings new and fun cardboard challenges. In the past we’ve done amusement parks, airplanes (that actually fly), costumes, animals, self portraits, Memphis and we’ve even built a collaborative city that kids had fun knocking over! What challenges will we do this summer? Join us and find out!!

New this year - we have more kid friendly hot glue guns AND a kid friendly cardboard cutter!

Thanks to Memphis Moms for putting together this great list of places to shop local this holiday season! Memphis has so many great options for everyone on your list!

As moms, it seems that all the holiday shopping falls on our plates. The kids, the spouse or partner, extended family, teachers, the list goes on… And while I am a fan of the ease of Amazon’s online shopping, with packages magically showing up at my doorstep, I prefer to try to support locally owned businesses – not only because of the economic impact, but also because I find joy in shopping in person, thinking about each recipient and what they may love. So I have set out to buy in person, in a local shop, as much as I can this holiday season.

Memphis is fortunate to be ripe with local businesses – we asked readers to identify some of their favorites and have collected them below. This is not an exhaustive list, and if you have a favorite, please feel free to share in the comments.
