Caroline, my four-year-old daughter, sat working so intently on her memory book. She was carefully cutting out hearts from scrap book paper to create a textured front-cover. “Mommy, I love this pink pen,” she said as she held up a fluorescent glitter pen. Meanwhile, my six-year-old daughter, Sarah, studied a plastic model of a horse as she used a brown colored pencil to draw a picture of a “wild horse.” “I am going to make a storybook about wild horses,” she said, smiling.
We arrived late to Mindy Flexer's Studio, at 5225 Greene Street, but she didn’t mind. The kids around the table talked about their storybook. One little girl was making a storybook for her best friend, a story about all the things they love to do together. Later, Caroline walked slowly holding her book with two hands. “Mommy, I have to hold my book carefully, like this,” she said, as she skipped down the hallway.
I couldn’t wait to come back for more fun and creative activities for the family! Well, I don’t have to wait much longer...
