FALL IS HERE! SCHOOL'S BACK IN SESSION; A NEW PRINCIPAL HAS COME TO SAN PEDRO HIGH AND HALLOWEEN'S AROUND THE CORNER; WHAT'S NOT TO ENJOY?
Dear Readers: Please read the review below written by a nine-year-old student of KiDazzle Art Studios. Currently, KiDazzle offers after school programs and art classes.
Nine-year-old Reviews a Summer at KiDazzle Art Studios and What She Thought of It; By Far, Making an Entire City Out of Sticks Was One of the Coolest and Favored Projects
By Keli Mezin
My name is Keli Mezin. I am 9 years old and I go to the Harbor Math and Science Magnet.
One of my most favorite summer activities was going to KiDazzle. Mike and May, the owners, are so nice and helpful. I felt so safe there. It is really fun. When I went I there last summer, I built several wood stick projects. As a matter of fact, an entire city!!
If you like to paint, they have an area where you could paint or draw anything you want. I used crayons or paint. Or, I could go and play games in a separate room. Now that is really fun.
If you are into jewelry then you could make necklaces, bracelets or even glue some beads to some wood to make a picture frame. You could learn how to sew a puppet or even a stuffed animal.
If you stay until 12:00-3:00 you could go on a field trip. This was nice because I could burn off creative energy. We went either to the park or the city farm behind Home Depot. At the farm you could see horses, a big pig, or even goats. They gave us a carrot to feed the goats. I had so much fun feeding them!
You could go fishing for crabs on some days. It was so exciting when you caught a huge crab. The most I’ve caught there was about 59 crabs.
When you go to the park you can go on the swings and climb all over. Sometimes we played Frisbee at the park. I had a big blast playing Frisbee.
If you are interested in KiDazzle for your kids, they would have an excellent time. And, they could meet some new friends like I did.
