Artful Stories

Where stories come to life through arts and crafts.

Welcome to Artful Stories! I’m thrilled to have you and your child join us on this colorful reading journey! I am Miss Diana, and I believe that every story has the power to inspire imagination and creativity. In this after-school class, children dive into beloved tales and explore them in new and exciting ways.

Each week, we read a carefully selected story together, and then the magic really begins! Through hands-on arts and crafts projects, students bring elements of the story to life to further spark imagination. The activities help children connect more deeply with the story and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Why Artful Stories?

  • Creative Exploration: Kids develop artistic and fine-motor skills while interpreting stories in a personal and unique way.
  • Enhanced Comprehension: By creating art inspired by the story, children build a deeper understanding of the characters, plot, and themes.
  • Joy of Reading: We nurture a love for reading by connecting stories with fun, hands-on activities.
