Why Kids Need Art Education

The benefits of art education are endless, but recent research suggests that the arts can help kids develop focus, discipline and perseverance. Most notably, a study found that children who take art and music classes do better academically than those who don't.

Art education can — and should — start early. Art lessons for toddlers are focused more on the process and less on the product. An art lesson for a toddler isn't about creating something to put on the fridge, it is about exploring materials, developing fine motor skills and expressing themselves through art.

Children have a natural desire to create. The problem with today's world is that we have taken away any opportunity for our kids to be creative. With so many activities planned out for children, they don't have time to explore their interests and develop them. An art teacher will teach these kids how to draw and show them that it is OK to make mistakes.

Additionally, children learn by exploring their environment, so art lessons should be provided in a safe and supportive environment where they feel free to analyze and make mistakes without fear of being criticized or punished. A healthy balance between structure and freedom is essential to keep them engaged.

DIY Arts and Crafts in Bethesda, MD

If you have kids or grandkids, consider a few simple tips to help them get the most out of the art lessons at home with our DIY arts and crafts:

If you have room in your house, set up an area where kids can leave their projects out. Having a dedicated space will encourage kids to explore their creativity daily and make it easier to pick up where they left off.

When it comes to art supplies, our motto is 'the more, the merrier.' A range of materials inspires imagination and makes it easy for kids to tackle projects when inspiration strikes.

Ensure your child has access to all the supplies they need for their project before starting. This allows them to focus on their artwork instead of running around looking for things like scissors or glue sticks. It also prevents clutter from building up in your home if you don't have any storage space for supplies after class ends!

There are many ways to inspire your child to create! Whether taking a trip to an art museum or watching videos on YouTube, finding inspiration helps your child find artistic motivation.

Whether it’s proudly displaying the latest creation on the fridge or hanging them up in a home gallery, celebrating the hard work and creativity children put into their art is a great way to keep them motivated and show them how their efforts have paid off.

You don't always need to guide the work. Let children create with their own ideas. What are they interested in today? How can they turn that into an art project? Let them work through their own problem solving by encouraging them to try new things.

Kidcreate's At-Home Art Curriculum

Bring Kidcreate Studio - Bethesda to your home with pre-made art kits. When a bored kid is driving you crazy or you are looking for an activity that encourages your child to turn off the screens and video games, do-at-home art kits can be just what a parent needs.

Sometimes, signing up for an art class at an art studio or school just doesn’t work with a child schedule. Or maybe a child’s health prevents them from attending art classes in person. Kidcreate Studio - Bethesda can help! Our goal is to make art education more accessible to all children. Whether it be attending an art class or camp at our studio or creating with an art kit at home, we want to share the wonderful world of art with all children.

Kidcreate Studio - Bethesda can also help homeschoool families with their at-home art curriculum and DIY arts and crafts! Our do-at-home art kits are perfect for homeschooling, daycare programs and more, with so many amazing art projects to choose from

I’ve taken my 2 year old here twice, she loved it both times. Our instructor Jodie was so kind and accommodating.

We had the best 6th birthday party ever for my daughter at KidCreate! We did the Xtreme Art Neon Glow Party and, the kids were able to be as creative and messy as they wanted.

We did two drop-in classes with our 2.5 year old, and they were amazing! It was such a fun way to introduce my kiddo to some of the great artists of history, but in a way that she could enjoy. The teachers were great, and I can't wait for her to take more classes!

We held my daughter’s 4th birthday party at KidCreate and can not say enough positive things. Both teachers in attendance were excellent with the kids and helping them do their art project and move through the different phases of the party. I highly recommend considering KidCreate for your child’s birthday party.

My kid’s birthday party was pleasant. They enjoyed working with clay and doing independent work. It was so fun for them. The owner and staff are wonderful. We will be back for classes. Here is a picture of a blue unicorn, one of the four year olds made independently of help from adults.
