December can be stressful enough with that last-minute Christmas shopping, crowded shopping malls, and endless running around, but having your kids with you can double the stress.

So why not consider Artjamming’s fun filled holiday programme as a great solution to keep kids entertained and educated whilst you take care of everything else? Over the December school holidays Artjamming stores in Johannesburg and Cape Town will run daily arts and crafts activities such as card making and sand art. The chilled out beat of the music and the endless supply of paint and tools will take their imagination away to a creative and colourful place to turn the canvass into a masterpiece. Take advantage of the great deals on offer and upsize your canvasses to make a super special gift painted with love for that special granny or grandpa.

Artjamming is also hosting the “Summer in the Centre” 17 day paint-a-thon at Cape Town’s Cavendish Square shopping centre from the 7th of December. Children, age five and up, can help paint a surfboard with one of our celebrity participants. The nominal entry fee will be donated to the Reach for a Dream foundation where proceeds go to fund back-to-school and other invaluable projects. The indoor beach area, located outside the Stuttafords Court, will provide a safe and interactive space for children to socialise and have fun whilst giving back to the community in the spirit of the festive season.

Additionally, at the end of the paint-a-thon, each surfboard will be donated to a surf school to be used to teach underprivileged children to surf and bring a little bit more joy into the lives of others. So don’t just sit around these holidays, come and join the Artjammers and start getting creative!
