Hammer & Stain: Intro to Cooking Class

This four-week cooking class is a great fit for kids who love hands-on activities and enjoy making things from scratch. 

The focus goes beyond just cooking, with each class encouraging creativity through colorful dishes, playful presentations, and food projects that let kids explore cooking as a form of art. 

Along the way, they will practice safe and clean kitchen habits, reading recipes, measuring, mixing, and learning about different flavors and textures, all in a small class setting designed to keep things comfortable and personal. 

The weekly menu keeps it fun with projects like smoothies, mini French toast sticks, Caesar pasta salad, homemade croutons, mini pizzas, rainbow salad cups, shake-it ice cream, and a DIY toppings bar. 

It feels especially well suited for kids who do best in a more intimate environment, and families can choose between a basic package with a recipe book and guidance from Tina or a premium package that also includes a chef kit and a personalized apron to keep.

• Hours: Starts at 5pm

All materials and supplies are included, along with snacks, so it feels like an easy drop-off activity for families looking for something structured and cheerful during the break. 

The camp promises colorful seasonal projects, with examples like flower crowns and birdhouses, and the overall focus is on giving kids a safe and fun place to be imaginative and stay engaged.

Raye of Light Studio: Kids Kreate and Carve Making Safe Prints

This class sounds like a fun and approachable art activity for older kids who like drawing and making things with their hands. 

Kids ages 9 and up will create their own stamp using foam, then use it to make prints inspired by ocean animals like turtles, dolphins, or fish before painting the ocean blue around their designs. 

It is especially nice for parents who may be looking for something creative but still low stress, since the class uses safety foam and does not involve sharp carving tools. 

Children will cut out their animal designs with scissors before printing, and all materials and the teacher's guidance with instructions are included, which makes it easy to show up and let them enjoy the process. 

It is also said to be a fun class to do together, which gives families the choice to make it a creative outing instead of just a drop-off activity.

• Date: April 3rd
• Hours: From 10:30am to 12:30pm
• Address: 117 Atlantic Avenue #3F, Ocean View
