Start Your Year Like a Warrior:
A FREE 5-Day OnlineArt Camp
January 5–9, 2026 • Celebrate 5 Magical Years of Soul Sparklettes Art!
There’s no better way to kick off a brand-new year than with creativity, story-filled adventure, and a camp your kids will race to log into each morning.
Welcome to Start Your Year Like a Warrior — a completely FREE online art camp, inspired by my cat Jezzi, and the epic spirit of the much-loved Warriors series by Erin Hunter (whose books my own kids can't put down!).
It's also purr-fect for cat-lovingkids who enjoy brave animal heroes, forest hideouts, constellations, and more.
If you have kids who love adventure stories, love book series about animals, and who want to create their own, this camp is for YOU!
This camp blends everything kids love about Warriors-style storytelling with everything homeschool parents love about Soul Sparklettes Art: easy prep, kid-inspired creativity, and projects that teach kids new things, all while encouraging them to add those touches of their own!
From January 5th–9th, a brand-new art project will unlock each day inside your private portal… and your kids will start the year feeling brave, creative, and ready to take on ANY challenge — just like a warrior.
And yes… it’s 100% FREE to join.

What makes this different from a typical Art Camp?
Regular art camps...
❌ Cost at least $15 per day for one child
❌ Kids go and come back, but they might not remember what they did
❌ Involve you leaving the house for one more thing
❌ Don't involve a story that make kids excited for what's coming next!
❌ Use supplies you might not have at home, so it's hard to use them in your everyday art practice
Start Your Year Like a Warrior...
✅ Costs ZERO for the entire family
✅ Gives you access to the videos up to 48 hours after the camp ends
✅ Has a story revealed in pieces every single day, with a surprise ending
✅ Lets kids have fun in a no-stress environment on their schedule
✅ Teaches kids how to use the art supplies that they already have in a different way, so they can use them for their own art time
✅ Has kids creating 5 beautiful art projects, encouraging them to follow a step-by-step OR to create their own unique piece (their choice!)
✅ Boosts confidence when kids can share their own art with others and see other kids creating alongside them!
✅ Lets you create - after all, YOU deserve some creative time too!
Hi, I'm Julie Soul, the teacher!
I've been teaching kids art for over 9 years, either at home, in my local community, or online.
I'm a homeschool Mom to two girls, ages 13 and 10, I love coffee, traveling, nature, board games, and a cheerleader for creative kids - AND those who teach them.
I look forward to being able to respond live to your kids and to give them feedback after the class when they share their work - it's one of my favorite parts of art camp!
I founded Soul Sparklettes Art, where we specialize in art that's kid-fun and kid-approved, and we teach kids (and those that teach them) that we can draw dragons AND learn the building blocks of art - at the same time!
