Doing crafts with your kids is a wonderful family activity. It's creative, fun, inexpensive and easy to do at home. But sometimes your personal supply of glitter, glue and Popsicle sticks just doesn't cut it. Your children want to try more sophisticated projects involving things you don't have lying around the house, like a palette, a kiln and professional arts educators. Sounds like it's time to hit a drop-in art studio.
In the past, we've rounded up kids' craft spots in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and today we're focusing on drop-in art studios in Queens. From museums with frequent family art programs to places to paint plaster to FREE workshops at the Queens Library, here are eight spots where kids of all ages can tap into their creative talents.
