Located in Ravenna [0] about a block from Whole Foods Market, the Moonpaper Tent is a magical place that fosters creativity and imagination in children. If your child has a flair for the dramatic and a penchant for make-believe, send them to this supportive and colorful spot. Here are some highlights from the spring schedule.
Spring camps
In case you're looking for a spring break activity for the kids, the Moonpaper Tent is offering two camps ($150 each) that meet Monday through Friday, March 31 to April 4. Encourage your 4- to 7-year-old's wild side at Jungle World from 9 a.m. to noon. Six to 9-year-olds can channel their inner Harry Potter at the Wizards Academy from 1 to 4 p.m. Both camps include take-home craft projects and costume creation.
Spring classes
Spring classes run 10 weeks, from April 7 to June 13, and feature fun and fanciful activities for ages 2 and up. Tuesdays from 10 to 11 a.m., parents of 2- to 5-year-olds can join their little one at Dress Up Hour ($100).
Also on Tuesdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., your little dancer (ages 3 1/2 to 5) can don a tutu and learn basic ballet techniques in the Ballerinas class ($110).
Thursdays from 1:30 to 3 p.m., tiny adventurers (ages 3 1/2 to 5) take imaginary journeys to mystical and foreign lands in the Creative Drama Caravan ($150). Each week has a different theme that is explored through music, costumes and craft.
Older thespians shine in Our Show ($150), a collaborative theatrical production written and produced by kids in kindergarten to fifth grade. Our Show meets Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and gives kids interested in the theater an opportunity to write a script, create sets and costumes, and perform their original piece for family and friends.
