Children LOVE art, and while it is a fun and a memorable activity, children are learning many skills to help them prepare for future learning. Some of the things that they are learning while they are taking part in an art experience are pre-writing skills, planning skills, color and shape recognition, concepts of symmetry, sensory awareness, creativity and self-expression, a sense of accomplishment. But most of all…it is FUN!
