About
Monterey Mini Makers was created to provide art education and sensory exploration experiences for young children on the Monterey Peninsula.
Melanie Klaumann
As an educator of preschool and elementary school for more than 25 years and a mother of three young children, I feel passionate about the role that art plays in a child's development. I am excited to bring my talents and ideas to life through the experiences and creations of little ones. Sensory exploration and artistic play are amazing and fun ways for children to discover new things about themselves and their environment. I learn something new every day from these mini makers!
Research based
"Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. Sensory play supports cognitive growth, language development, gross and fine motor skills, social interaction and problem solving skills."
