My Project

I love to see the happy faces of our kids when we paint. Please help me provide a sea animal project that will bring joy to their little faces when they see their pictures glowing in the dark. This project can provide a sense of creativity to children who find it difficult to express their feelings and thoughts, fine motor skills, and self-expression. Being able to be creative through art stimulates parts of the brain that are responsible for cognition, particularly when it comes to learning, problem-solving, focus, and memory.
