In this weekly social club for Squishmallow lovers, learners will draw a cute Squishmallow with step by step instruction. They will practice basic drawing skills while having fun. During our drawing session, we will discuss shapes, size, and structure. During the painting portion of the session we will experiment and take risks with some new art techniques. We will be using watercolor paint, but other paint is also acceptable. We will be flexible with materials. We will also play a Squishmallow BINGO game each week. The Bingo game will need to be downloaded prior to class. You may print just one or two of the Bingo game boards. 

The social club structure allows the same learners to meet every week, creating a familiar and supportive environment. They will also exercise important social skills through talking about their art and taking turns. The social club does not build on prior lessons, so learners can enroll or leave at any time. However, seating is limited so if you leave for a week, there is no guarantee that there will be an available seat.

- Listening and following directions.
