Being able to control their exposure to inappropriate influences. Children need to be given the opportunity to stay children and not be pushed into an adult world long before they're ready. Click HERE to read more.

Art Today


Sorry guys, you're just going to have to tilt your head to look at this one. I couldn't get this to turn like a portrait. Anyway, this is Squirrels tree.


Here's Fluffy Puppy's tree.

To make this project, have student trace their hand making sure to leave the fingertips pointed. Next, free draw vertical lines from in between the fingers down to the bottom of the page. Take a marker, we used brown, and trace all the lines you just made. Then, starting from the bottom, draw the contour lines, linking them as you go. As you work your way up the tree, single lines will mark the branches. Add leaves, color your tree and background with any media you like. We used crayons.
