My Project

4 year-olds are so amazing. They love to explore their world with wonder and awe-inspiring curiosity. Artistic expression - beyond pencils & worksheets - is what my littles need the most.

Story Telling through self-expression & free spirit through Art.

A drying rack & Tempera paints (just add a little dawn soap or cornstarch and it becomes finger paints). Acrylic paints (put in a squeezy bottle and sponge it around and you have a masterpiece - fit for framing). Then ask them what they have made and you get the most original Tales of Adventure.
