Creative Solutions for Winter Break


  • Art Classes for Kids in Portland Oregon
  • Resources for Parents of Creative Kids

With holiday break looming at the end of the week, I offer this list of hands-on creative classes and things to do over the winter holiday. (Editor’s note: In my opinion, an art class or drama workshop is a great gift for the right kid.)

OregonMom.com (Where to go with kids in tow)
Check out this is great website for parents. It covers a a broad spectrum of information relevant to anyone raising kids in Oregon. Specific to this list - the site includes a comprehensive list of art resources for kids.
