a joyful art club playgroup

Scribblegiggle is a new process art playgroup for 3–6 year olds in the Triangle. We meet on the lawn of the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh a seasonally inspired art experience and end our time with unhurried free play and connection.

meet your host

Hello!

I’m Kristin, a creative director who traded a career in Silicon Valley for motherhood in North Carolina. In world that’s increasingly screen-filled, I felt drawn to create something grounded in shared, hands-on experiences. Scribblegiggle takes its shape from years of my own daily creative play with my daughter. Now, I pour my heart into designing offerings for others that feel curiosity-led, beautifully-considered and joyful. I personally design each art club experience and host every in-person session. I can’t wait to meet you and your little one.

Upcoming Meetups

Winter Art CluB
Single Session

Children will use vibrant watercolors to paint “snow” in swirling hues, then scoop and shovel it into pots, adding the prettiest pops of flowers—a playful reminder that spring is, indeed, on its way. We’ll wrap up with time for free play together on the lawn.

Dress warmly in layers, coats, and gloves, and don’t forget to bring your warmest curiosity hats.

For occasional discount perks and early access to registration, join our private Scribblegiggle Facebook group here.

Meets at 1pm (1hr), $30

know before you go

  • Our meetups and activities are designed for ages 3 to 6.

    Younger or older siblings are absolutely welcome to tag along.

    Please plan for materials to be provided only to 3 to 6 year olds who are registered to attend.

    If you will not be attending, please notify us by email.

  • Yes, you must register here and pay for seasonal meetup sessions prior to attending. This allows us to keep playgroup sizes close-knit and prep the best materials for activities.

  • Seasonal meetups are $165. This includes 7 sessions — 6 art club meetups on the lawn of the NC Museum of art and a freeplay-only playdate (no art on this day) at Downtown Cary Park. Costs cover all art materials and supplies as well as administrative expenses that keep the group running.

  • Sometimes a little, sometimes not at all. We keep things kid-friendly, mostly washable and manageable. That said, dress your child in clothes you don’t mind getting a little bit messy.

  • Yes, grown-ups stay and participate alongside their children. Scribblegiggle is a shared experience with caregivers.

  • Each meetup lasts about 60 minutes, maybe more if the kids keep at it on the playground.

    We spend the first 5–10 minutes in storytime, then we explore our artsy activity for 20-30 minutes.

    After that, the kids free play on the playground together until the fun fizzles.

  • We provide picnic blankets. You might also bring water, a snack, and whatever warm clothing layers the weather may call for to keep your child comfortable that day.

    We handle all the art supplies as well as the setup and cleanup.

  • 2026 meetups will take place primarily on the lawn of the NC Museum of art. Once each season, we will also meetup at Downtown Cary Park for a freeplay date.

    Meetups may also occasionally be offered in surrounding areas. Exact locations are shared registration details and in the confirmation emails that follow.

  • That is totally okay!

    Scribblegiggle’s art setups are just fun invitations and community making.

    Kids can explore the materials however they like, join in later, or simply observe.

    Don’t stress if they’re not into it that day — it happens. And it’s just as normal for them to need a little support or encouragement from you.

  • All kids are welcome — quiet explorers, enthusiastic makers, sensory seekers, wiggle-worms. You name it. We keep the vibe relaxed and inclusive.

  • Small groups, usually 6–8 kids, so everyone has space to create and connect comfortably in a casual meetup setting.

  • We’ll reschedule or cancel depending on the weather and activity. Updates will go out the day before or by 8am the morning of the meetup.

What little hands learn here

Here, little hands learn through discovering, pouring, swirling, sticking, shaping, scooping, sorting, and arranging. They build, imagine, trust their instincts, and explore freely through hands-on experimentation. Most importantly, they experience the joy of artsy adventures shared with friends.
