My Personal Review:
Yes we have a "CraftyClassroom" already, and art is ingrained throughout all of our learning,
but I picked up this book because I wanted to make sure that my children were being
educated in the "logistics" of art as well.  We're very familiar with the Series of books, as In
our Kindergarten year my daughter loved,
"Little Annies Art Book of Ettiquete and Good
Manners."  I'm really excited for them to explore all of the different topics in this book, and I
plan on expanding on many of them, using and reinforcing the weeks lesson as a guideline
for what kids of techniques to explore!  You can check out the
first couple of lessons here.
