RecycledArt: Something New from Something Old
It's always nice when we hear about something new and different among the great offerings in Portland. Better yet, it's something fun, educational, and makes use of one of our favorite themes: "reduce, reuse, recycle". Yay for Leisha!
RecycledArt offers stimulating, hands-on, educational art and science workshops for kids ages 3-10. Students take common, everyday objects and turn them into something totally out of this world! They paint, sculpt, draw and build from the inside out while sharing ideas and making new friends. RecycledArt unites the wonders of science with the creativity of art and we help to make the world a better place to live by learning about renewable energy sources and brainstorming ways to create less trash through reducing, reusing and recycling materials.
Remember tupperware parties? Well, RecycledArt workshops are offered in a very similar style. We come to you! A RecycledArt workshop hostess invites up to 10 children to attend a 1 hour, custom themed activity. As a workshop hostess, your child attends for FREE! AND..your child will receive a treasure box filled with found objects that they can later use to explore their creativity! In addition to workshops, RecycledArt also offers birthday parties! The cost per artist is $10.
So...while the kids are learning cool science facts and having fun making art, the Mom's get a chance to relax and share a cup of coffee or go for a walk. RecycledArt also offers pecial packages which include an on-site, chair massage, manicures and pedicures!
For more information on our workshops and packages, send us an email...makerecycledart@yahoo.com or contact Liesha Eberst at 503-901-9324.
How do I post a blog and not just comment to one. I would like to see if there are any ways for me connect with other step parents etc. I am trying to get pregnant myself now but in the interim I also have a stepdaughter and would like to speak with other stepparents who are loving and active in their kiddie's lives as well. Thanks for the help and info.

I'd love to hear if an urbanMama will be hosting an upcoming RecycledArt session. I'd love to give it a try. My biggest girl would love it!
