Week 1: K-2

For this age group, art is not just about creating beautiful masterpieces; it is an invaluable tool for holistic development and self-discovery. As these budding artists immerse themselves in the world of colors, shapes, and textures, they embark on a journey that nurtures their creativity, boosts cognitive skills, and cultivates emotional growth.
At this tender age, children are naturally curious and seek avenues for sensory exploration. This is where manipulatives enter the scene. Manipulatives are objects and materials that inspire hands-on engagement, allowing young minds to learn through touch, movement, and play. From clay and building blocks to puzzles and paintbrushes, these manipulatives provide opportunities for children to develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and spatial awareness – integral skills for their overall development.
