Happy Hands Art Club is a joyful, welcoming space where creative kids can express themselves freely through hands-on art projects! This inclusive art experience is designed especially for elementary-aged children with autism or sensory processing differences who thrive with structure, creativity, and compassionate guidance.
Each session offers an opportunity to explore different art materials—from paints and clay to collage and textured crafts—within a calm, supportive, and sensory-considerate environment. We believe every child is an artist, and Happy Hands gives them a place to shine.
Please note: A parent/guardian is asked to stay with their artist(s) for the duration of the activity.
Creative projects include:
Messy Masterpieces – Finger Painting
Clay Day – Squish, Sculpt, Shape
Stamp it Out – Printmaking & Patterns
Pasta Picasso – Noodle Art
Magnet Magic – Create with Attraction
Rainbow Collage
Nature Prints & Textures and more!
