How Art-Kits Work

Choose and order your favorite art kit. When it arrives, set all supplies out on a table or hard surface, if necessary, follow included video or written instructions, enjoy the alone time while your child creates and keeps their mind active!

*Length of alone time varies from child to child and though we cannot guarantee it, it's a nice thought.

About Us

Creative Wellness for Kids of All Ages

Welcome to Shades of Orange. We believe in the creativity that lives within every kid, and we want them to be able to access it at any time, even from the comfort of their own home. From local in-studio classes (virtual art classes for kids coming soon!) to preschool art boxes and complete birthday party kits, we're bringing all things art straight to your family.

Our art kits for kids are revolutionary, comprehensive, easy to follow, and we've tailored them to fit all age ranges. After thoroughly researching the market, we discovered that the quality and project designs for craft kits for kids were seriously lacking. We've been in the business of creating art projects for kids ages 2-12 for thirteen years, and we're thrilled to be able to put that knowledge and creativity into each and every kids art box that we pack up and ship out.

Mission Statement

Shades of Orange is dedicated to supporting the fine arts in a creative, safe, learning environment that will encourage imaginative thinking as well as individual interests and skills; always with a sense of fun and wonder for children and adults.

About the Studio

My name is Patti Stevens, I have always had a great love for the arts and design, and I own Shades of Orange Art Studio for Kids. We are the premier art studio in the Central New York area, and I am beyond excited to expand by offering our services nationwide through the development of our revolutionary art kits for kids and birthday party boxes.

For twenty years, I worked in the retail industry but always on the creative end. I have done visuals and store interiors for multi million dollar retail chains. I have staged events for the stores and of course always with impeccable customer service skills.

Fourteen years ago I found that it was time to do what I truly love, and Shades of Orange was born. An art studio lets everyone find their creative self. I feel strongly that this is very important to children, especially those who do not get enough of it in school and those who just love to do it.

There is no right or wrong in creating. Once the technique and mediums are introduced to the student, the sky is the limit! Most of all it's a lot of fun to discover creativity at any age!

I am beyond happy that you're here, and look forward to sharing this journey with you!
