Peaceful Frogs

“Peaceful Frogs” is excited to teach nature/art classes for children in Hoboken, after school and this summer!

This 1 hr class includes:

Part One: Frogs Are Green’s founder Susan Newman Lerer will educate children about the natural world. We read a stories and learn about nature and follow through with a creative project on the same theme.

Part Two: Students create an original artwork that expresses what they’ve learned from the day’s activities.
Students will use these materials:

• Colored pencils, crayons, paint, markers, and Playdoh with tools
• Stencils of animals, frogs, trees, palms, leaves, flowers, wildlife, etc.
• We will experiment with color, materials and creating 3d objects
• Words that add meaning to their artwork

*The students artwork and the class activities will be photographed and added to online galleries for family and friends to enjoy. *We always ask permission before photographing.
