Losing a pet is often a child's first experience with grief and it's real, it's big, and it deserves to be honored. This gentle two-hour class creates a safe, creative space for kids to share memories, feel their feelings, and make something beautiful in honor of the pet they loved.

We'll gather for story time with carefully chosen pet loss picture books, move through a grounding exercise to help little hearts feel steady, and spend time sharing our pets' names and stories. Then we'll create an memorial portrait - a piece of art your child makes themselves, to keep forever. Framed artwork will be available to pick up at a later date.

Classes are kept small so every child feels seen. A parent or caregiver is welcome to stay. Please email us a photo of your pet ahead of class at [email protected] and we'll have it ready at their seat.
