Yeshiva Break Without the Boredom: An Art Camp in Your Own House

Mid-winter yeshiva break art camp at home in Brooklyn — a few mornings of real painting classes for your kids and their cousins. Paula brings the studio.

Every January it's the same conversation. Yeshiva break is coming, half the block is flying somewhere warm, and you're home wondering how to fill five days before everyone loses their minds.

Here's one answer: a short art camp in your own dining room. Two, three, four mornings — your kids plus a few cousins or friends, and Paula arrives each day with the supplies and a plan.

It's a real progression, not a different craft each day. Day one is brush control and color mixing. By the last day they're finishing a piece that uses everything they learned, and there's a little stack of work to show for the week. Kids feel that difference. So do you.

It works for mixed ages, which is what vacation week actually looks like — the six-year-old and the twelve-year-old at the same table, same theme, different level. Paula teaches art at Magen David Yeshivah; juggling levels is the job.

Winter break, Pesach prep week for the kids who need to be out of the kitchen, summer before camp starts — any stretch of days works.
