My Project

As a Preschool teacher, everyday is different. I love watching my students grow and learn new things. I always tell them it's good to be curious and take risks, to have fun and be different. Art is imaginative and creative play and that's one of the many ways my students learn about the world. My preschoolers love and enjoy art activities and during choice time art is a big hit. They are happy and fully engaged when creating art for themselves or a classmate or a beautiful painting for mommy. It also helps with the sometimes difficult transitions of the day. Art helps to develop fine motor skills, builds friendships and starts conversations. It's so important for children especially during their early development. These markers, paints, and stamp pads will let their creativity bloom. Art is source of beauty and expression for young minds.
