Cookie Canvas: A Winter Snack & Smear Event at Sparkerland (Ages 1-5)
By Sparkerland Mini Art Museum
Multiple dates
Overview
Little hands, big fun! A winter-themed snack & smear art session using food-based paints for babies and toddlers ages 1–5 with caregivers.
Cookie Canvas is a cozy winter snack & smear art experience designed especially for babies and toddlers (ages 1–5) and the grown-ups who love them. This is not a “sit still and be neat” kind of class—it’s a sensory-forward, joy-first invitation to explore texture, color, and curiosity through food-based paints and edible materials in a safe, welcoming space.
Little artists will use their hands (and sometimes their whole arms) to smear, stamp, and explore on their own “cookie canvases,” while caregivers stay close, assist as needed, and enjoy watching creativity unfold in real time. The environment is intentionally low-pressure and flexible—kids can move at their own pace, take breaks, or simply observe if that’s what feels right that day.
All materials are food-safe and age-appropriate, and we’ll have wipes, water, and cleanup support on hand so families can focus on the fun, not the mess. This is a shared experience meant to feel gentle, playful, and memorable—perfect for a winter morning spent making something sweet together.
Come for the smearing, stay for the giggles, and leave with a happy kid (and maybe a slightly messy one). At the end, you'll take home a polaroid of your time together. We’ve got you covered.
