Introducing Creative Café!

“Creative Café” workshops are designed to lay a feast of beautiful ideas to spark each child's creativity. These workshops, which are literature & art-based, are great for classroom teachers and homeschooling parents teaching a wide variety of ages. I also have several free mini-workshops that only require a color printer and a picture book to get started!

 

Because my children are still too young to participate in creative writing workshops, I've found other ways to introduce Creative Café at home (you can read the story behind the name here). 

The basics for our at-home Creative Café are simple– we put on some coffee shop jazz or instrumental music, choose a spot with comfortable seating, and then we get to work on something creative! Sometimes I also offer refreshments. 

 

Regardless of age, Creative Café is a fabulous way to inspire creative writers and thinkers. You can check out my free Creative Café: The Basics guide to get started or jump right in by downloading one of my print-and-go Creative Café workshop guides!  

Additionally, I run a website, CreativeCafe.org, which offers inspiration and "spark your creativity" writing and art-based prompts that can be completed in a writer's notebook! Ideal for middle-grade writers!
