Tutu Design School

This experience is for anyone who likes wearing tutus! Join Teacher Jai on a magical experience creating a custom tutu that’s just as unique as you are. During this epic journey, kids will learn how to design, cut and sew their very own tutus!

First, a brief ice breaker to get to know one another (your favorite color and your dream tutu); then, magic making! Kids will use measuring tape and be shown how to measure their waist and the length of their skirt. they'll prepare tulle and elastic to cut. After cutting materials, kids will pin, and then be ready to sew!

Jai will guide children every step of the way, and demonstrate on the sewing machine proper seam allowance, stitching, and tension. Movement breaks will be included along the way during which kids will listen to a tutu dancing song and cut a rug! Figuratively, speaking 😊

Upon tutu completion, kids will receive a certificate from tutu design school and a magical wand to match their tutus and sparkling personalities!

Because of the materials required for this experience (~5 yards of tulle per child), pricing may vary depending on number of kids and will exceed Grasshopper Kids general pricing.

What Parents Are Saying

We LOVED everything about Grasshopper! The customer service experience was exceptional! I felt like so much intentionality was taken to ensure that the activity would be both age appropriate and fun for my kids. Our experience leader was so easy going and chatted with the kids during the experience, and really took the time to engage and get to know them. We are definitely going to be using Grasshopper again! Thank you!

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Grasshopper is such a great initiative. The kids had a great time, the teacher came across very energetic, professional and in charge. Would highly recommend and use again!

Jai was such a pleasure and fit right into the party. She was like one of the family. The kids adored her...I would take a sewing lesson with her!

We loved our "Create Your Own Aquarium" session with Teacher Jai. Jai created such an engaging, exciting, and comfortable environment for our preschool-aged son. He was completely engaged for the full two hours, and we watched his confidence, focus, and pride grow throughout the session. Later, he told us that the highlight of his day was his time with Teacher Jai - a big compliment coming from a four-year-old! The session and logistics were a breeze, making it easy for us parents, and it was delightful to listen in on all of the learning and laughter. It was an excellent experience for us all, and we can't wait for our next session in the 4-week series!

My girls made tutus with Jai! First, they got to color and design their “dream” tutu. Jai helped them choose colors and measure and bring the design to life. Jai was even kind enough to sew a mini tutu for their baby sister and used the extra material to quickly sew veils. My daughters, 4 and 6, were thrilled. They are really proud of the tutus that they made with Jai.
