Beth Herrild has a BS in Fine Arts and a Master’s in Whole Systems Design. When her three children entered elementary school, she was appalled at the lack of quality visual arts education. So, she became an art docent for over fourteen years, teaching elementary through high school art . In late 2016, she left her full time job and started her business, Outside the Box Creation. She believes that you don’t have to be a great artist to do art with your kids. In fact, discovering art together actually offers your child more freedom.

Sometimes it can be difficult for kids to put words to the emotions they’re feeling. If your kids enjoy art or are even open to trying art, you can show them that art is a great activity to do when they’re feeling strong feelings—as a way to manage, soothe, and make sense of those feelings. Creating art, like reading, is a meaning-making activity. It can help kids express what they don’t have the words for. Beth will give a little background and then show several art activity ideas that parents can easily do with kids. These activities can also be super helpful for parents.
