Paper
Playground

Introducing Hip Hooray Studios’ very first after-school art program,
“Paper Playground”!

This 4–6 week creative arts experience is designed to inspire imagination, encourage exploration, and celebrate each child’s unique creativity.

Through playful, hands-on projects using paper and mixed materials, kids will experiment, create, and express themselves in a fun and supportive environment where every idea is valued

  • “Elise is just the biggest joy to work with. She pours her heart into everything she does, and it shows.

    It makes all of our experiences with her so magical and fun.”

    - JEN

  • “Both my daughters loved the camps so much they couldn’t wait to go back. I highly recommend anything Miss Elise at Hip Hooray Studios creates, she is a walking sunshine and makes every child feel welcome and safe.”

    -AMBER

  • “I cannot say enough good things about it. Elise came early, set everything up beautifully and was absolutely wonderful with the girls.

    She helped them all with their crafts, answered all of their many questions and was truly delightful with the kids.

    We cannot wait to have another party with Hip Hooray Studios!! “

    -JANA

  • “Elise is able to connect immediately with both parents and children. The care and detail taken to prepare was top notch and beautiful.

    The girls absolutely loved it. My daughter had such a wonderful time and would definitely like to have another birthday with Elise. These parties are a perfect fit for little artists! “

    -AURELIE

  • “Loved having Elise help me plan out both my girls birthday parties. The puppet boxes were a hit and have offered lots of puppet show entertainment in our Friday night family time. Would highly recommend using Hip Hooray Studios. Elise helped take the ease out of the planning!”

    -HEIDI

  • I hired Elise to create a birthday party for my daughters 9th birthday at our recreation property outside Calgary.

    She was absolutely amazing. She was engaging with the kids, playful, kept their attention and so organized!

    -ASHLEY

  • “As a mom who is not very crafty, I am always looking for opportunities for my art loving 6 year old to do more of what she loves and this camp did not disappoint.

    She talked about it for days and weeks later still admires her camp creation. It was so fun and creative for her and I will definitely sign her up for more.”
