Art Dwellers
is excited to announce the launch of a new idea to encourage youngsters between
the ages of 3 and 7 to explore, learn about art, and express themselves. Each month your child will feel special
receiving a fun filled package in the mail addressed to him/her. Inside, your child will be delighted to
find everything that they will need to complete engaging and appealing
projects.
Developed by a retired
art teacher and life long artist, your child will be excited to receive arts
and crafts, experiments, and creative play projects geared to their age
level. Along with materials
needed, each package will include clear step by step instructions, and expanded
ideas meant to encourage further investigation. Here are some examples:
Here is a great project
your child can feel proud of hanging up in their room. Through this project your child
will practice writing letters, tying knots, cutting; learn about symmetry,
color, and sameness. Further
related ideas would include practicing their letters with other mediums such as
sidewalk chalk, crayons, markers, finger paint, sand, bath suds, etc. (one of
which would be included in the package).
It would be suggested that your child look for letters in books, stores,
signs, etc. and decide how he/she
likes certain color combinations.
As well, he/she would be guided to notice how the same letters can look
different in appearance.
This fun project will
inform your child about color, proportion, relief, texture, drawing skills, the artist Henri Matisse, and
symmetry. Further project ideas
would include rubbings to understand textures (materials included), looking for
insects outside with a magnifying glass or binoculars (materials included), a
short blurb on the life of butterflies, and suggesting to imagine things in
different colors.
Make some noise. Easy to make and hours of fun. Play some music and have your youngster
keep beat with his/her new instruments.
Do you remember making up your own songs when you were young? Now your youngster can sing and play at
the same time...a one man/woman band, or he/she can invite a friend over to
play along. Do a rain dance with
your child in hopes of bringing on rain.
How it Works....
You can buy one month or a
years' worth of projects. Each
project is mailed out at the beginning of each month addressed to your
child. It will arrive in an Art
Dwellers box and will be a surprise for both of you and your child as to what is inside. It will either be an arts and crafts,
experiment, or a creative play project.
