We love crafts of any kind in our house! I’ve loved seeing the
progression of the kids’ drawings over the years, and I try to
promote creativity as much as possible (rather than uniform-
looking crafts or having them make things the “right” way). We
generally craft for the joy of crafting, or to help bring home a
particular concept. I’ve never actually taught them about art
concepts, however. ARTistic Pursuits is an art curriculum that
teaches directly to the student. No advanced preparation is
necessary on the part of the teacher (aside from gathering the
supplies). The supplies needed for that particular lesson are
very clearly presented so you can locate them with a quick
glance. From the website: Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grade
Books at the K-3 level introduce children to the visual arts and
view art through history. Colorful illustrations, art
appreciation, and projects designed for young hands and minds
delight students and appeal to their interests. Non-consumable.
