Karen's Kidshops® are a mélange of good teaching models, poetry, games, "wiggle-squeezers"®, and most of all, fun.  Use Kidshops® as an incentive or reward for Chapter 1, top readers, character education or team building, after school care or day care -- feed students' minds instead of giving them another popcorn or pizza party.  Karen will work with you to customize these experiences for the optimum benefit of the participants.

Each Kidshops® experience offers an adventure-based theme involving literature, games, art and activities:

• Name That Thing: An excellent, creative way to let children enjoy getting to know others.

• Feathers Fly: An amusing look at feathers and the things they can do.

• Pop Goes the Bubble: Experience the excitement of creating your own bubbles and so much more!

• Gold and Silver: Be a part of the treasure hunt for a lifetime!

• Hats and All That: The inspiration of a simple hat offers a backdrop for a variety of encounters.

• Arts Smart: Calling all children who like scissors and sequins, glitter and glue!

• Creation Sensation: A lucky potluck of learning fun!

• Up, Up and Away: Who can resist the joy of a balloon and the fun it offers?

• Invention Convention: Probe the world of unique creations and create your own answers to "what" and "how".

• Who Done It?: Looking for clever kids to detect clues, investigate leads, and solve the crime!
