Arty Pants

There's nothing we like more at beijingkids than encouraging creativity in children. Maybe the editors spent too much time around glitter pens when they were  kids, but the more colorful and creative you can be the better! 

Which is why we love this art camp for kids in the 798 Art District. Run by practicing artists, and conveniently divided into two age groups as well as into morning and afternoon sessions, this camp is well worth checking out if you have an art-loving child in your brood. 

Other fun art-related events going on in town include:

• What If? Artists Laura Yuile (Glasgow School of Art) and Jocelyn Mcgregor (Oxford University) host a series of creative workshops for children aged 3 and up.
• Les Artistes en Herbe A craft workshop offered in Chinese and French by kids bookstore Poplar Republic.  
• Creative Art by Familier Instructors lead children in creative art activities using interesting and unusual media including umbrellas, T-shirt fabric and ceramics.
