Ok so Jaime is in a Leadership Class and is on a Water Safety Council at work. So needless to say we will be spending many days the next several months in downtown Sacramento. We always do the normal Zoo, Old Sac, and Parks. But now the that Fall and Winter are arriving outdoor exploring may not always be a choice. So i did some research before we head to Sac. I found an awesome site. http://www.sac4kids.com/ and within this site i found the artbeast, and it was right down the street from our hotel, so that was even better. They have membership's and open studio time. It cost me and Chris $16 for the day, but we got in and out privileges. so we went in the morning for a couple of hours and then went back after we ate lunch and stayed for a couple more hours. The great thing about this studio is.... they had art tables with everything you could image, and shelves around the room with different supplies. The also had easels, and a wall to paint on. They had many different building blocks, moon clay, molding clay, beading, and a yarn wall. Not only art but they had a music room, with different types of instruments. And everyday at 11am they have a music circle where they sing songs and move around. They also had a dramatic play area with puppets, costumes for dress up and kitchen area for play. Then there was the outside. sand and trucks, and table to sit and talk. You got all this for the one price. plus there were classes you could take for an extra price. Another great thing about this studio is that it is Non- Profit. Ever dollar taken in goes to a organization called the Tubman House; which serves young homeless parents and their children. It is a 18month transitional housing program for the Sacramento's youth and their children. So i guess i did not mind paying the pricey $16 for the day. But if you live in Sacramento or are visiting it is a place worth checking out. I think it said the cater to children 7 and under. Christopher did so many painting while we were there, but once he found the Moon Sand, he would not do anything else.
