Preschool and Kindergarten:
Ideas for Art Readiness
Art is a way to communicate. Young children explore what they are thinking and feeling through their art efforts. By being attentive to a child's work, listening as they "explain", you are building their understanding of art as a method of communicating with others. Of equal importance, you are creating a feeling within your child that what they have to say has value since you are taking the time to listen.
The following links take you to a variety of places that are useful to parents as they explore the world with their young children.
