Program Description

Event Details

This is an adaptive art class for teens and young adults with disabilities. This month we will be creating mini succulent gardens. We will start with painting our own unique designs on the outside of the pot. Then we’ll add soil and succulents for a miniature potted garden. Afterwards we’ll discuss proper care for our new plants. Succulents are easy to care for and require very little attention or  watering in order to thrive! We will practice fine motor skills, including using tools such as stencils, sponges, and brushes.

Who should sign up? This class welcomes teens ages 14+ and young adults with disabilities. In order to attend alone, participants need to be independent in a group and able to follow 1-2 step directions with prompting or volunteer assistance. If they require additional support, a parent or staff must stay with them.
