My Project

My kiddos love to get creative!

What better way to learn to get creative than teaching them Origami, how to mold clay and how to make cool buttons than with a colorful step by step book?

Our kids love art in our school! We have done lot's of projects such and painting on canvas, making magnets and drawing their favorite Keith Haring Characters. We are ready to move on to using our hands a whole lot more! What better way to do that than with clay and Origami? The kiddos are going to love to learn how to make Origami animals and shapes, step by step, using the cool books!
