Guess what! Since we have so many more kids than usual, Art of Expression is launching a special session of ART CAMP!!!

Instead of our usual signups, this time we're just doing show-ups! Starting this morning, kids from 5 to 12 will be with me in The Big Classroom at Cloud Recesses, and we'll have a super great time playing with all kinds of media, including paints and pastels and clay! There's room for all ability and experience levels, so if you want to make art, just come on up the mountain!

If you're bringing a kid, make sure they wear something they can get messy, and pack a lunch. If they need any special accommodations, just let me know and I will make it happen.

And if there are any kids who see this and want to come but don't have an adult yet, just pipe up! We'll find someone to show you the way here and make sure you've got a good lunch.

Annnnnnnnnd any of our suddenly-teenagers need stuff to do (or our regular teenagers, for that matter), I wouldn't mind an extra hand child-wrangling, so like...hmu if you need extra activities. I already had like a half dozen regular Vallo moms and dads responding that they'd be coming when I sent the message out to our standard mailing list.

Ooh, right, and Dungeons and Dragons is basically theater with a little bit of math! I bet some of the kids would be into it, if he's got the patience for working up a simplified version of the rules and dealing with "I'm Princess Felicia Fluffybutt and I'm a cat wizard and I can talk to cats and I have a unicorn BFF" and stuff. Go recruit Eddie, tell him there's free lunch.

	Try selling him on the challenge of simplifying the rules enough that someone who can only sort of read can play. And tell him I'll help if he comes by the shop this morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	YES! Eddie ILU. Think you could do a baby metal section on Saturday if we've still got littles then? I'm trying to get activities planned for at least a full week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you thank you thank you. You and the rest of Team Hawkins are seriously saving my butt here, I was going crazy trying to plan a whole week and have it all be stuff that I could teach. With all of you helping, we might actually get to take some breaks! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Good fucking luck with this. When he was preparing for your last game he was like "and this monster has eighteen tentacles and each one has the chance to suck their brains out!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was a really HIGH chance of getting our brains sucked out, too. Which is great for us, we love a hardcore dramatic game. But maybe for 8 year olds we dial back the number of tentacles a little. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	YES, awesome. I'm already playing around with making an easy-reading character sheet. You don't have to use it, but it's slow in the shop and I already dusted the top shelves. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Death isn't the only way to traumatize kids, Eds. You gotta give them like, fluffy shit they can make friends with. Or save a unicorn. No tentacles and scary demons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
