I have been tossing the idea of blogging my experiences teaching art for quite a while and have finally managed to sit down and do it at last. This blog is intended for anyone who is looking for ideas/inspiration for teaching art for young children. Watching kids create art is the most amazing, rewarding experience! This blog will be a day-to-day (hopefully) account of activities that I am doing and hopefully full of ideas that you can use with kids.
