See much more of his recent work here.
A Crafty Autumn Leaf Project for Kids (and Adults) Photo: Ksu/ kokokoKIDS Monday in my home means one thing--arts and crafts. My daughter and two of her homeschooled friends spend the morning with us learning about all sorts of ways to be creative and express themselves through art. Teaching (in our respective areas of expertise) to a small group of kids is called a co-op and it is one way in which homeschooled children learn. For a recent craft, we decided to make leaf animals. It turned out to be a simple project that let us hold onto autumn's colors for a little big longer -- while opening up lots of opportunities to teach the girls about science and nature.

The Benefits of Arts and Crafts (Yes, Both!) for Kids It’s funny how we often debate things with a black/white, either/or paradigm. Like whether preschool is for play or learning, for instance. Or order vs chaos. (Controlled chaos for me, please.) Or a little bit country vs a little bit rock n roll. Facilitating Creative Thinking in the Art Room Introduction “How nice it must be to teach art,” and, “It must be so much fun to draw and paint all day!” As an art teacher, I have heard these statements or something to their effect from others at least once every school year.
