Sing, Shake &amp; Create events are joyful themed music-and-art experiences designed for children ages 2–6. Each event combines an engaging, interactive music class with a hands-on creative art activity inspired by a fun seasonal or imaginative theme — like Under the Sea, Barnyard Beats, Dinosaur Stomp, Outer Space Jam, and more! Children will sing, move, dance, play instruments, explore rhythm, and then bring the theme to life through a playful art project. It’s the perfect blend of music, movement, creativity, and connection — a mini celebration designed to spark imagination and make magical memories.Join us on June 24th from 2:00-3:00 for UNDER&nbsp;THE&nbsp;SEA!&nbsp;Dive into an ocean-themed music and art adventure where children sing, dance, play instruments, and create a splashy under-the-sea craft!<ul><li>40-minute music play activity led by Katie Kraft</li><li>20-minute art activity led by Katie Kraft</li><li>play and socialization in our fabulous rainbow gathering room</li></ul>
