DIY Arts Education!
With arts and education cuts, you need to find activities to engage and spark your child in these crucial times of mental, physical and emotional development – because they are growing now, and they can’t wait.

We know the arts help kids develop motor skills, confidence, teamwork, persistence, problem-solving and imagining new solutions.
One thing you can count on is no one can stop artists and scientists from exploring and creating – and they love to share.
So we’ve asked Visual, Literary and Performing Artists and Creative Scientists to share activities that kids can do at home, in classrooms, libraries, hospitals and community centers, with friends and family members of all ages, clubs, scouts and your own arts-making gatherings.
Many thanks to these caring creatives, donating their time and skills so your kids can learn, explore, experiment – and express their own original and wonderful ideas. . . DIY Arts Education.
You’ll find activities for a range of ages that meet education standards, and we’re always adding more.
You can use our Contact page to share ideas and feedback, photos of your creations – and we take requests!
