Parents can have an evening to themselves while the children receive art/music/literature instruction at low cost, minimal time commitment, and enjoyable atmosphere! (just think: you don't have to drive them to a weekly lesson, which there may be no time for in the schedule, but they still get the benefit of exposure and practice in the process of art and music instruction...) Why are these parties so effective? Because "Play is child's work"--the arts become their form of play.
