(THURSDAYS 18-23 MOS) Move & Make

About this event

(THURSDAYS 18-23 MOS) Move & MAKE Ages: 18 to 23 months, with a grown-up Schedule: Thursdays, 9:30 – 10:30 AM (enroll one day or for all!) Season: September 15 – December 15, 2026 (closed the week of Nov 23–27) Our tiniest movers are always on the go, so we move with them. This class blends gentle toddler yoga with the warm, hands-on sensory art A Rosie Day is known for. We stretch tall like sunflowers, sway like trees, crawl like busy squirrels, and breathe like the wind, and then we bring all that movement to the art table for squishy, colorful, wonderfully messy creating. Here is how we break up the hour, and why it works so well for little ones. We always begin on the mat with movement. Starting with yoga helps our busy bodies shake out their wiggles, tune into themselves, and settle into focus, so that by the time we reach the art table they are calm, present, and ready to create. From there we flow into collaborative, sensory art in a process-based studio, where children paint, pour, squish, and build right alongside one another. Movement first, then making, and the two are always connected. Little artists will move at their own pace in a warm, unhurried room. The season follows the world outside, from early fall sunshine to first snow, so every week brings a fresh theme, a new pose, and a new way to paint, print, and play. This is a grown up and me class, so your favorite caregiver stays close for cuddles, encouragement, and the occasional handprint. ** This season, our studio kiln comes alive! any time we work with natural clay, little sculptor's creations will be fired, then painted by the artists, and hand-glazed by our teachers, transforming their squishy handmade art into treasured keepsakes that everyone will cherish for years to come! Meet Your Movement Teacher, Lily: Lily brings together two of the things this program is built on: movement and art. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Visual Arts from Fordham University, along with more than 500 hours of vinyasa yoga training and a Children's Yoga Instructor certification from the Circle Yoga Cooperative, which means every class is guided by someone who truly understands both how little bodies move and how young imaginations create. She has spent years working with children, teaching at yoga summer camps where she has led art projects for groups of young learners and mentoring students in visual arts, and she has a gift for creating warm, encouraging spaces where children feel safe to explore, get messy, and discover at their own pace. When she is not on the mat or at the art table, Lily is passionate about art education, photography, and finding new ways to help children learn through play! **Class email will be sent out the week before the semester begins with a dedicated WhatsApp group per class!
