ARTSTOP CHILDREN’S AREA
Canvas Classics
Paint a colorful masterpiece, like Picasso, in Canvas Classics. Kids are invited to paint with a brush on a real canvas propped on an easel with an array of colorful paints.
Clay Play
The bright polymer clay fosters creativity and improves motor skills while being fun and easy! Kids can pound, mold, or roll their clay into a colorful sculpture, a key chain, or whatever else they can imagine.

Puppet Playhouse
Children can create their very own puppet friend using a simple wooden spoon as the base. By gluing on fabric scraps, googly eyes, and other decorative accessories, each puppet takes on its own personality. Once finished, the puppets are perfect for imaginative play—children can name their puppets, put on puppet shows, or act out stories. Everyone loves puppets!
Silly Beads
Strengthen creativity and fine motor skills while having a ball! Children can uniquely express themselves by making their own bracelet. Using pony beads and pipe cleaners, children will make a colorful piece of wearable art they can proudly show off or give as a gift.
Throwin’ Mud
It’s okay for kids to play in the mud at Throwin’ Mud, an activity station guided by ArtStop’s own master potters. Kids will learn to throw a pot or form a vase on a real potter’s wheel.
Whimsical Windsocks
Children can celebrate the colors of fall by creating their own whimsical windsock. Using a toilet paper tube as the base, kids can add fall leaf stickers, streamers, and ribbons, or use markers to make their own unique design. Perfect for younger children, they will love watching the red, orange, yellow and brown colors of the season flying in the wind.
Wee Weavers
With a little bit of yarn and a few sticks, weave a wonderful web! Scary spider included.
