Splat Lab has 4 unique rotating stations that change each class: Main Splat (messy station like ooblek) Splat Create (art station like making dot snakes) Open Splat (open station like giant drawings) and Splat Build (Building/engineering station like cup towers). We have hundreds of stations we mix and match each session that are differentiated for each age group.

Our Anthropology Arts classes are available for after-school programs and school pop-ups that complement social studies units. Classes start with a drawing activity, a small mini-lesson, and an art-making activity where youth can create their own version of an artifact. Popular workshops include Egyptian canopic jars, Chinse dragon robes, and Incan llamas.
