little artistsTeacher: Cathy Harland
Come explore the world of art! Each week we will make connections from literature to arts and crafts. We will build our fine motor skills by cutting, tracing, coloring, and painting. We will also move and wiggle by learning fingerplays and songs that go with our book and art project theme for the day.
