🚨Storybook Adventures is BACK!!🚨

Welcome to Storybook Adventures! A drama based creative story telling program for young children.

Each week, children will step into a brand-new story and explore the imaginative world it creates. Through costumes, music, games, dance, and crafts, they’ll experience the joy of storytelling while developing creativity and confidence.

This 7-week program nurtures an early love of storybooks while introducing beginner skills in drama, music, and the arts.

The session will conclude with a final showcase at Hamilton Theatre Inc, presented alongside our Drama and Art Club students. The showcase will take place the week of June 1st (details to follow).

When: Saturdays at 11:30
Where: Rivers & Meadows Studio, 168 Ottawa St N
Duration: 7 weeks + showcase. Classes run April 11 to May 30 (one week break May 9)
Age Range: Kids ages 3-6 (This is a drop-off class children must be comfortable participating independently.)

When you come to the Play Café and realize you love it just as much as Punch loves his IKEA monkey 🐵

Have you heard? We now offer Play Café twice a week! What is it? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

An open, mixed-age play hour where littles explore freely and grown-ups get to slow down. There’s no lesson, no group activity, and no schedule to follow.

The space is set up intentionally, but the play is completely unguided. Children choose how, where, and what they play.

Meet that friend you’ve rescheduled with five times, swing by for a mid-morning reset, or just sit back and watch your little one feel safe enough to explore on their own. Every hang-out comes with a complimentary coffee or tea ☕️

You’re welcome to join in, observe, or simply enjoy being in the room.
Just a cozy space to hang out, connect, and play

MARCH BREAK MINI CAMP 📓✂️

🗓 Monday, March 16
⏰ 9:30am–12:30pm
📍 Rivers & Meadows Studio

Hosted in collaboration with our new team member (!!) , this 3-hour mini camp is all about inspiring a built of hands-on creativity to get your March break started!

Kids will:
📚 Learn how to make and bind their own notebooks/journals
🎨 Design and create their own stickers using collage materials or their own drawings

They’ll head home with their handmade journal and a collection of one-of-a-kind stickers — ready to fill with ideas, doodles, and stories.

Please send your child with a snack and a water bottle. We are a shoes-off space so kids are welcome to bring slippers or indoor shoes if they choose. 💛

🎨 IWD: Helen Frankenhaler 🎨

This International Women’s Day in studio we have chosen to feature the wonderful work of Helen Frankenhaler:

Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011) was a renowned American Abstract Expressionist painter known for inventing the “soak-stain” technique, which involved pouring thinned paint onto raw canvas. A key figure in the transition to Color Field painting, her luminous, large-scale works revolutionized 20th-century art over a six-decade career.
