Mini Golf at the Walker

If you get a chance, Walker on the Green is a fabulous summertime activity with kids -- each course was designed by a different artist (what a great way to introduce kids to the idea that art can be interactive) and the environmental themes had us talking all day about how we use water. Check out the details here.

kid perspective

This is what I love best about hanging out with kids...adults see a bike rack, kids see an obstacle course!

the more the merrier

Check out this Abrakadoodle artist cutie who got busy wth our little purses after class last week...and as anyone knows, if one purse is good, four is even better!

action paint at Stone Arch with kiddywampus this weekend!

We're thrilled to be back at Stone Arch Festival of the Arts again this year -- and are hoping for good weather! Stop by to say hi and try your hand at some outdoor action painting that would make Jackson Pollock proud.

We'll be located in the Youth Arts Quarter in Father Hennepin Park at the foot of the Stone Arch Bridge.

Here's the new hipper incarnation...I've been waiting for these cute little creatures to arrive at kiddywampus since I fell in love with them at their North American premiere in New York City last February.
