Little Explorers (18 mo-3 yrs)From $40

Little Explorers (18 mo-3 yrs)

Art Strong · Long Island City

Little Explorers is a sensory and art based experience for children to explore their senses, art materials, and the world around them! Activities include but are not limited to exploring with painting, play dough, water play, collage & glue, sorting activities and more. Caretakers will observe and support your child while allowing them to follow their own pace through the experiences set up in class. Children can learn about their senses, practice fine motor skills, explore new art materials, plus have a chance to socialize with peers and exercise language skills. Starting in Fall 2026, we're excited to introduce a brand new toddler class: Book Art Play , held every Monday! This class features all-new activities and projects that are completely different from our Little Explorers programming. That means your child can attend both classes each week for twice the fun!
