Bring Crafty Makers to Your School
Crafty Makers brings hands-on arts, crafts and STEAM enrichment to children across Cincinnati — currently through creative after-school clubs at local elementary schools.
We bring the projects, materials, instruction and creative energy directly to your school, making it easy to offer children a high-quality after-school enrichment program without creating unnecessary administration for your staff.
Why schools choose us
Why Schools Partner with Crafty Makers

We provide instructors, materials, project planning and class delivery — everything needed to run a high-quality enrichment program.
Hands-On STEAM Enrichment
Children design, build, experiment and problem-solve through creative projects that bring science, art and engineering together.

Easy for Schools
We work with each school to make scheduling, room arrangements and ongoing coordination straightforward.
Our approach
More Than a Craft Club
Every Crafty Makers session is designed around making something real. Here's what children actually develop along the way.
Creative Problem-Solving
Children make choices, overcome practical challenges and discover how different materials work as they turn ideas into something real.
STEAM Through Making
Projects naturally introduce elements of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics through hands-on experimentation.
Creative Confidence
We provide enough structure for children to succeed without expecting every finished project to look the same.
Practical Skills
Cutting, measuring, assembling, drawing, building and decorating help children develop coordination, planning and fine-motor skills.
Resourcefulness
Children discover that ordinary materials can become extraordinary things through imagination and ingenuity.
What we make
They Don't Just Make It. They Play With It.
Our projects are designed to continue beyond the class. Children might build a working toy, create a game, construct something useful or invent something entirely their own.
