5 Reasons Why Your Child Will Love ‘Kids Night Out’
What do kids and parents love most about our monthly Kids Night Out- Party in Your Pajamas event? To find out, we did a very informal poll of some of our satisfied repeat customers. All were between the ages of 5 to 10. Here are some of their responses.
- Yummy meals and snacks like “popcorn, mac and cheese, and pizzas.” (No one mentioned veggies, but we do include them at every Kids Night Out!)
- Art From Scrap art projects: Past projects include Forest Creature Headbands and Masks, Making Leaf-Men, and Valentine’s Cards.
- “I liked it when you got to go into the store and pick out something for your project!”
- “The movie was great!”
- “Making new friends that don’t go to my school.”
Our next Kids Night Out is on Friday, May 6, 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm at Art From Scrap. The cost is $30 per child and $25 for siblings. Held at the Art From Scrap Creative Reuse Store, your kids are guaranteed to have a good time! Our experienced staff will entertain your children with fun activities including Art From Scrap Projects, Games, Stories, Movies, and More. Dinner and healthy snacks are included.
Kids Night Out is appropriate for children ages 3 and up.

She continued her love for learning and got her teaching license and then her Montessori certification and worked as an elementary teacher in Tribal, Public, and Montessori schools. She collaborated to create a school garden and her students loved it so much that it became a special place where they could garden, read, explore, play, and it provided a safe sanctuary for students to calm down and reset when they were having difficult moments.
