Even the littlest members of your family can get involved and contribute their finger prints while the older siblings or adults help put the finishing touches on their artwork.

We have the Mini Sizzlin' Kitchen from Early Learning Centre, which actually is ideal as it doesn't take up too much space and everything fits neatly inside.

This website is for any adult — teachers, parents — looking for step-by-step guidance in how to instruct and develop, without overwhelming or dampening, the artist inside every child.You will find art projects here that I have put together over a long career of teaching art to children from ages 3 to 13. Each lesson plan is self-contained with all the information needed to complete the project: the target age; the key concepts to be learned; the materials needed; helpful notes to avoid pitfalls; and some anticipated conversations you may have with your young artists as they are working. 1) Instruct but do not do. 2) Never start with a pre-cut shape. 3) Quality materials and an organized, inviting workspace are an essential backdrop for creative chaos. 4) Look.
