Being a Teacher, Designer, and Mother of six, I know it is never too early to get crafty. I have always done art projects with my kids since they were very young, and we have always had a lot of fun doing it! My kids have a great LOVE of art!
There is a great site to check out called GREEN ART BOX. It has a lot of neat ideas about art for kids and a lot of inspiration in the many sample projects shown. Most of the supplies you'll find around the house or you'll probably have because they are basic art supplies....so get started today! That's one of the great things about Green Art Box is that they promote recycling, which is good for the earth and easier on the pocketbook, and teaches children a valuable lesson in addition to art & design.
So, whether you want ideas and inspiration for a family art project or a home school lesson or even a lesson for an entire class, I really think you'll enjoy keeping an eye on this site... www.greenartbox.com .
