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 Charlotte

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.

My daughter has done two of the parents nights out and she has had a blast. She is always so excited to participate and she is proud to share her creations when I pick her up. We look forward to the next one!

My kiddo had a really fun time in the classes, though they might be a bit geared more toward younger kids than those 10 and up. Thomas was her instructor, and he was very friendly, enthusiastic, and welcoming! My kiddo took the slime-making class and was always excited each week to tell us all about the different types...

I brought my 5-year old nephew to an ornament making class and it was great! The instructor was so kind and the quality of the projects was excellent. Highly recommend.

We signed our son up for two of the date night classes. He loved both classes and didn't want to leave. He says, "best art classes ever!" Thank you Kidcreate for the fun for him and the date night for us!

Great experience hosting a birthday party here! Kids had a blast doing an art project, getting faces painted, and playing with slime. One kiddo’s parent was 30-min late for pick-up at the end of the party and Sky let her and my other kids paint while we waited. We really appreciate how accommodating they were!
— Alexandra Bates, Posted October 27th 2025 on google
They made my son feel very comfortable when he was nervous about me leaving and when he came home was so excited to go back again.
— Tamara Ward, Posted October 22nd 2025 on google
The front desk staff is very welcoming and patient with parents and kids. The art teacher is extremely positive and encouraging, and so excited for every child in the class and their ability to create. We will definitely be continuing to take classes here.
— Becky Streeter, Posted October 13th 2025 on google
We just had my son’s birthday party there. They were great! Easily accommodating 17 kiddos. They all had a blast. We even got a giant sign all his friends signed and drew on. It is now in our living room for the foreseeable future. One of the best parts is it is closed to the public. I always feel safer with younger ...
— Tara Lyn, Posted October 13th 2025 on google
We had such a great time celebrating our daughter’s birthday here! They made her feel extra special! They also went above and beyond during the project time and even after to keep the kids entertained! We will definitely be coming back!
— Ashley Myers, Posted September 21st 2025 on google
My son enjoyed his four day art camp! He is particularly wriggly and even did fine with four FULL days. Half days might have been better, but he was a trooper. The projects were fun and he liked them. The staff was great! Handled any issues kindly and promptly.
— A. Canavan, Posted September 5th 2025 on google
Would recommend for birthday parties, was a great experience. They even wrote a list of the gifts given and who gave them. Details were great!
— Hannah Nicol, Posted August 30th 2025 on google

She has such a great time doing the camp 1-4 clay birds one day!
— Nichole Zacharias, Posted August 23rd 2025 on google
They hosted a bday party for ten 6-7 year olds and it was great. Awesome staff helped lead an art project for all the kids. Cool facility and great bday party alternative to jump parks, community centers, etc. Check them out.

My child attended a 4 day sparkle science camp this summer, and had a great time. They were a bit nervous to go, as it was their first summer camp experience, but came home with really cool crafts and a smile on their face every day. They made friends, and the teachers were friendly and kind and good with the kids. I l...
