Family Painting Classes in Olathe
Back by popular demand, our Family Painting Classes! We love when families can come and paint with us. All our Family Days are for ages 5 and up. And whether there is just a couple of you or if there is a large bunch, we have space for your group to paint. We also do fun and easier themed paintings geared for even the youngest guest. Typically, the painting also has a sketch already on the canvas by the time you arrive. This makes for a stress-free experience. At our events we are BYO for drinks or snacks. So, feel free to bring in your favorite juice too! The events typically happen 1-2 times per month, so when you see one, don’t delay in signing up. And keep in mind all the people you could give them to as presents.
Painting can help your children communicate their emotions or feelings. With different colors, they can express themselves without the use of words. Painting allows children an educational opportunity that is also fun and exciting. Painting also aids in developing motor skills.
There are even more benefits of painting for children including sensory development, color learning, fine motor development, exercising creativity, being able to express emotions and building self-esteem. Painting is also a great activity to help teach concepts like shapes and letters in a fun and engaging way. It can help make those they may not excel in sports, feel confident and worthy.
There are also benefits to families that spend time together. It will improve mental health, especially when face to face versus over a screen. It helps to reduce anxiety, depression, and creates a strong emotional bond.
Spending time together also helps children perform well academically. They learn how to communicate and the importance of education. By having that face time, parents are showing their kids that they care and are available.
Another advantage is lowering the risk of behavioral problems. When families are involved with each other, they show less risk of being violent and having substance abuse issues. Instead, children are given an opportunity to vent any pent-up emotions versus turning to addictions.
Children with involved parents also with show more self-confidence and self-worth. They learn how to problem solve and communicate which in turn then shows them how to achieve goals in life. And how to be appreciated by loved ones.
The next advantage is they learn how to have great parenting skills for their children. Family is important and they are shown that through examples. They may even start early and show compassion and appreciation to their siblings.
A major lesson that children learn from family bonding is conflict resolution. It shows them that you can’t just walk away from problems, that you must compromise and come up with resolutions to solve issues. This will not only help them with their future families, but in life as well.
Being involved helps to reduce stress, especially with a family painting activity. There is something that relaxes when you create. But it also reduces your blood pressure, fatigue levels and heart health.
Lastly, spending time with your family will also lengthen your life expectancy. Healthy relationships could increase your lifespan up to 50%!
