It is time for Mom’s Library again. Yesterday, I saw a discussion on a Facebook group about how much the schools have cut on special classes. Looks like many schools have very little time for art. But art is important in children’s development. They learn observing things around them, pay special attentions to details they would otherwise miss. The creation process requires all senses, imagination and coordination. Today we are sharing some fun simple art ideas for kids, hope you and your kids can catch up on some arts during the summer to make up what they missed from school.
