Arts for Children 1 2 3

The arts have always been important to me growing up. They are a way for me to use my creativity, express myself, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment- completing something start to finish. 

I've been working with children since graduating college. I love to incorporate the arts as much as possible.

It is fun.It is a teaching tool. It is entertaining (for them and for myself). It develops motor skills. 

I often get questions from friends and parents- what do you DO with them all day? 

I'll post projects or activities that I do with the kids I work with. 

For each post I will include:

• The Name of the Project 
• The Age Range for the Project
• The Tools and Supplies You Will Need
• A List of the Benefits/ Skills the Project Develops

I try to use things around the house (recycling, household items) as much as possible during projects. 

The supplies I do use, I get from Jo-Ann Fabrics or any craft or art supply store.
