Hi friends! Welcome to my Outschool profile. Thank you so much for taking the time to check it out! My name is Melanie Pleasant. My passion is curating classes that are bonding experiences between your learner and their stuffed animal friends. 

My stuffed animal based classes are centered around cheerleading, rhythm, and general education. Your learner will gain skills and knowledge in these areas while also growing their self-confidence, social-emotional skills, creativity, and imagination. 

Stuffed animals are oftentimes an extension of our self-expression. Working with stuffed animals is a great way for even the shyest of learners to break out of their shells, make new friends, and feel comfortable expressing themselves freely. 

I have worked with kids and their stuffed animals for about 15 years. I have led stuffed animal circle times in classroom settings and bookstores. I also helped kids of all ages adopt, create and dress new furry friends through a traveling make-your-own-stuffed animal company called Noah’s Animal Workshop.

My other passions include cheerleading, performing, and drumming. Growing up, I was in several cheerleading programs, which led me to my career as a character performer at Universal Studios Hollywood. I’ve also been playing the drums since I was 13. I currently play drums in the family-friendly Halloween rock band, Candy Corn for Breakfast.

My classes are primarily geared towards learners ages 4-8 who have a love for stuffed animals and enjoy imaginative play and are interested in learning beginner skills in cheerleading, rhythm, and general education.

If you are interested in booking any of my classes for a private tutoring session or birthday party, please let me know in a direct message. We can then work out a time that will best fit our schedules.

Can’t wait to see your learner in class!
