Канзас-Сити - родина компании Hallmark, которая существует уже больше 100 лет и остается одной из крупнейших семейных компаний в США (по всей стране у них тысячи фирменных магазинов открыток)
Штаб-квартира компании находится на юге даунтауна в районе Crown Center, в развитии которого Hallmark сыграла ключевую роль, инвестируя в его инфраструктуру и культурные объекты (открыточная компания, ну вы представляете!) 
Теперь здесь торговый комплекс, крупные развлекательные объекты и регулярные культурные мероприятия, а также Hallmark Visitors center с бесплатной художественной студией для детей Kaleidoscope (этот проект уже больше 50 лет предоставляет пространство для творчества и самовыражения и является подарком компании всем семьям и детям) 
P.S.: мы, живя рядом, конечно же его посетили - дети были так увлечены, что даже фотографий почти нет

Kaleidoscope Volunteers worked together to pack 1,000 art sacks with projects, stickers, and supplies to send to children in Maui devastated by the fires in August. The Boys & Girls Club of Maui was overjoyed, saying, “We recognize the value that the Arts bring to our youth and have witnessed the difference that making art can make in an individual’s mental health, which is fundamentally important to their overall wellbeing – now more than ever.”

This is a great time of year to make Monster Faces! Monsters are imaginary creatures. That means they can be mysterious and menacing or silly and likable. You get to decide!

The “squiggle line” game is a fun way to exercise creativity. Make your own squiggly line on a piece of paper, or ask someone to make one for you. Then, using your imagination, turn that line into a drawing or picture. What will you create?

We love our guests! Here’s what Jennifer had to say after her recent visit to Kaleidoscope:
“I just want to take time to thank you for an awesome experience for my kiddos. We are from Northeast Arkansas and came up for a little getaway. There are so many kid friendly places to visit there and Kaleidoscope might have been their favorite stop! They can’t stop talking about it and telling everyone they see about it. The puzzle creator being the most memorable moment! I plan to tell many about this place in case any are ever near there! It’s a must see for littles! We hope to visit again someday soon!“

Канзас-Сити - родина компании Hallmark, которая существует уже больше 100 лет и остается одной из крупнейших семейных компаний в США (по всей стране у них тысячи фирменных магазинов открыток)
Штаб-квартира компании находится на юге даунтауна в районе Crown Center, в развитии которого Hallmark сыграла ключевую роль, инвестируя в его инфраструктуру и культурные объекты (открыточная компания, ну вы представляете!)
Теперь здесь торговый комплекс, крупные развлекательные объекты и регулярные культурные мероприятия, а также Hallmark Visitors center с бесплатной художественной студией для детей Kaleidoscope (этот проект уже больше 50 лет предоставляет пространство для творчества и самовыражения и является подарком компании всем семьям и детям)
P.S.: мы, живя рядом, конечно же его посетили - дети были так увлечены, что даже фотографий почти нет

Kaleidoscope Volunteers worked together to pack 1,000 art sacks with projects, stickers, and supplies to send to children in Maui devastated by the fires in August. The Boys & Girls Club of Maui was overjoyed, saying, “We recognize the value that the Arts bring to our youth and have witnessed the difference that making art can make in an individual’s mental health, which is fundamentally important to their overall wellbeing – now more than ever.”

Got leftover Halloween candy? Use it to create art! Arrange pieces of candy on a sheet of paper. Hard candy with coating works best. Use a straw to drip warm water onto the candy. Watch what happens! Move the candy around on the paper to create your own colorful and sweet painting.

This is a great time of year to make Monster Faces! Monsters are imaginary creatures. That means they can be mysterious and menacing or silly and likable. You get to decide! Gather any small recyclable items you’ve been saving in your art box (such as lids, straws, egg cartons, and cardboard tubes). Shift, shuffle, and stack items to create Monster Faces. How many different monsters can you make? #kaleidoscopeathome #monsterfaces #kidsartproject #easykidscrafts

Here’s a fun color mixing experiment to try at home! In a bowl or baking dish, dissolve 3 tablespoons of salt into 3 cups of water. Gently add a drop of food coloring and watch what happens. Add other colors, one at a time. What do you notice as the colors mix with the salt water?

We love our guests! Here’s what Jennifer had to say after her recent visit to Kaleidoscope:
“I just want to take time to thank you for an awesome experience for my kiddos. We are from Northeast Arkansas and came up for a little getaway. There are so many kid friendly places to visit there and Kaleidoscope might have been their favorite stop! They can’t stop talking about it and telling everyone they see about it. The puzzle creator being the most memorable moment! I plan to tell many about this place in case any are ever near there! It’s a must see for littles! We hope to visit again someday soon!“
