We're all about capturing this time in our children's lives, nurturing that creative side, and letting them be the best versions of themselves.
Here's what some parents have to say about Squishy Banana Studios:
Leyla: "We love Squishy Banana Studios!! We are in our second experience of after school and can’t rave enough. Great creative outlet for the kids. They are involved in the whole process and are so proud of the finished product!
Highly recommend this business!!"
Tracy: "My daughter is having so much fun at her Karaoke party! I'm so glad we decided to try something different this year. We will definitely have you back."
Kim: "My son loves going to Squishy Banana camps! He's 8 now and this will be the third summer he attends Lizzy's camps. Lizzy is great with kids and makes the film making process accessible and fun! She provides the structure and the kids write their own scripts and act in their own videos, and there's a range of genres to choose from. Fun and unique camp!"
Melissa: "My kids and I love Squishy Bananas! Obviously, it's a great way for kids to use their imagination to bring their stories they imagine to life. And it's a great chance to learn how to collaborate with others to create something together - there are adults who can't manage to do that! However, it's the unmentioned skills that are encouraged that I feel need to be mentioned. They write scripts so they practice reading and writing. They have to follow instructions. They have to identify and categorize. And they do so much more! It's a great opportunity for any child and as a parent, you can relax knowing it's secretly a great educational opportunity."
Leigh Anne: "My daughter LOVES Squishy Banana Studios and Lizzy! This is her second year of participating in classes and camps. She looks forward to every session and has gained so many amazing skills through film creation. We look forward to continuing the camps and classes as long as possible. We highly recommend!"
