In Creative Creatures, students explore the amazing world of animals through art, building, and hands-on creativity! Each class introduces a new animal from somewhere around the world. We’ll learn fun facts about how it lives, what it eats, and what makes it unique.

After discovering our featured creature, students will create a project inspired by it. Using a variety of materials—such as paper, clay, recycled supplies, paint, and simple building tools—students will design, build, and decorate their own animal-inspired creations. Projects may include sculptures, habitats, moving models, masks, and imaginative art pieces.

This class encourages curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving while helping students connect with the natural world. By the end of the session, students will have learned about many fascinating animals and built a collection of unique projects to take home.
