A Creative Afternoon at Monster Art

Monster Art Creative Learning Playground is a drop-in art and craft play space located at SM Dasmarinas. It’s a place where children can have fun while they create art. This wonderful art place was founded by Meely Wang, a Malaysian Chinese.

Neo and I were invited to try this art place last week. Because SM Dasmarinas is where I normally go and do my grocery shopping, I dropped by Monster Art by myself. Diane, Monster Art’s supervisor, greeted me and introduced their products.

Currently, they have two main products that kids and kids-at-heart can try: the sand art and the scratch art. Both arts are very easy to do, and kids will definitely enjoy doing it. Sand Art is done by three easy steps: peeling the sticky area -> pouring colored sand in the sticky area -> repeating the process until done. The Scratch art is done by one easy step too: Tracing the coated surface by scratching.

They offer different art products too, like desk calendars you can design your own, sand art clocks, etc. You can also buy do-it-yourself sand arts so you can do it at home. Products are surprisingly cheap and easy to do. They also offer packages for parties (so kids get artistic and busy).

And since I want Neo to try the arts, I brought him the next day. He was asked to choose the design he wanted to do. The little boy was very eager at first to try the sand art and scratch art, but he was too besotted by the colored sand that in the end, it was Mama who finished his sand art.

Good thing, he did the scratch art all by himself.

It was a fun afternoon and I wanted Neo to do this with his Papa (because it’s a very nice bonding activity) that we bought him a sand art to try at home. J
