What is the Children's Art Café

The Children's Art Café  introduces children to the world of art in a fun edible-art fashion through color. Children develope language skills, build vocabulary, and recognize letters and shapes. The Children's Art Café offers the above experiences for children in art workshops for Moms Clubs, Preschools and Daycare's.

How did the Children's Art Café begin?

The Children's Art Café is the original idea of Rhonda James who wished to expose her own children to art and promote their individuality, creativity and learning. Rhonda noticed her children ate the art. "Hmmm," she thought. She then combined her two passions of cooking and art to create this unique and creative learning environment for children.

On May 17, 2003 we launched our DabaDoodle at the world’s largest baby faire - American Baby Faire in Dallas. American Baby Faire executives loved the product and helped pave the way. We have been featured in major local newspapers and magazines and our products have caught the attention of The Oprah Show and QVC.

On March 6, 2006 the Children’s Art Café made it’s National Debut on the Food Network hit show 'UNWRAPPED'.
