About the Event

Join us in the Autry’s Family Play Space for our Art with Amy morning program! Twice a month at 10:15am, the Autry will host a children’s art workshop and sensory experience for kids ages 1-5. All activities are crafted to engage all five senses, creating comprehensive sensory experiences that stimulate both learning and enjoyment. 

The philosophy at the heart of Icky Sticky Fun, an innovative organization co-founded by  teacher Amy Ponce and Rosina Basi,  is to inspire young minds and foster a lifelong passion for learning through the magic of playful, hands-on art experiences. The classes are designed to nurture creativity, curiosity, and cognitive development and will immerse children in a variety of sensory-rich activities. The classes aspire to transform every playful encounter into a meaningful opportunity for growth and discovery, building the foundational skills to become the innovative thinkers and problem-solvers of tomorrow.
