About THE Creativity Shell
Our Mission
The Creativity Shell is a nonprofit organization on a mission to use creative arts programs as a powerful medium to teach children essential life, practical, and mental health skills. Through engaging classes in sewing and textile arts, cooking, building, and other hands-on creative trades, we empower students to build confidence, resilience, and purpose.
Our programs are taught year-round in our 20,000 sq. ft. studio in Kingwood, TX, as well as in public libraries, schools, ABA therapy centers, juvenile justice facilities, and shelters that rescue children from homelessness and human trafficking.
Since our founding in 2015, the Creativity Shell has been a vital ally in fostering positive mental health in the lives of children. Our programs have supported sex trafficking survivors through therapeutic creativity, helped children manage anxiety, strengthened fine motor skills for neurodiverse students, taught practical life skills to unhoused youth, and inspired students to use their talents to give back to the community.
But as creative education continues to disappear from traditional school systems, our work is more urgent than ever. We rely on the generosity of donors to keep creativity alive, accessible, and healing for the children who need it most. Your support provides scholarships, supplies, and safe spaces for students to create, grow, and thrive.
Please consider donating to the Creativity Shell today—because when we invest in creative kids, we build stronger, healthier futures for all.

CREATIVITY HOUR - NATIONWIDE INITIATIVE
Our Vision
What began as a simple sewing class around a dining room table in Kingwood, Texas, is now blossoming into a nationwide movement to empower children through creativity. The Creativity Shell, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching children practical skills through creative arts, is proud to announce the launch of its newest national initiative—Creativity Hour.
This innovative program is designed to place Creativity Shell Pods—kits filled with mystery boxes of art, fiber, and crafting supplies—into classrooms across the country. These kits provide students with the opportunity to take a mental health break, reset, or simply engage in creative exploration when they need a moment to think outside the box.
The official launch of Creativity Hour will take place on May 8, 2025, at the H+H Americas trade show in Chicago, a global hub for craft and hobby professionals. From there, the organization hopes to build a community of partners, sponsors, and educators to help scale the initiative into thousands of classrooms nationwide.
On May 30, in celebration of the National Day of Creativity, the Creativity Shell invites businesses, households, bars, and collaborators nationwide to take part by ordering Creativity Hour kits and joining the movement to create something outside the box. Proceeds from each kit will directly support the donation of additional Creativity Hour boxes to underserved schools and children in need.
