From making an elephant puppet to crafting a springtime mobile, your little artist will love the 50 projects in Abeka’s Art Project 1 book. He will develop his manipulative skills through coloring, painting, tracing, drawing, cutting, and gluing with a variety of materials. Your child will also learn to follow step-by-step directions. Whether it’s making a Christmas placemat in December or a decorated Valentine’s Day sack in February, the monthly themes give him projects to enjoy and proudly display. The projects are correlated with academics, Bible teaching, and the seasons. A Plan-Ahead Supply List lets you cut down on planning time, and clear instructions help make art time fun for both parent and child.
