Art During The Holidays
Children are always looking for things to do during the holidays. Something to keep them busy and entertained.
Art is a great suggestion that ticks all boxes.
It keeps them occupied
It allows them to use their imagination and creativity
They can get messy
It could involve technology
It can be time-consuming
Usually easy to get materials
Below you will find a bunch of art spaces to suggest to your children;
Art Works - KinderArt has so many suggested art pieces. They have instructions and photos so you know exactly what it should look like. Covers so many different areas of the curriculum
