Keri Tate One of my absolute favorite books for preschool teachers. I use it all the time! I've used it as a trainer too! Thanks MaryAnn for all of your work, but especially for this one!
MaryAnn F Kohl Thank you so much!! I needed a little "warm-happy" today.
Keri Tate You are so welcome. My Wee Ones truly love art, and I believe one of the reasons is your work. They are really happy when they are expressing themselves through their artwork. I love it when someone asks, "what is that?" (as if every piece of art must be representational. My Wee Ones happily reply, "It's a design, and it's my art."
Kim Cavanaugh Schaffner I've been a teacher for 20 years...this is my FAVORITE resource for my PRE K school that I started 16 years ago! THANKS A TON!

Making Make-Believe has lots of pretending and things to make to enhance pretending. This "room weaving" is one of my favorites.
A fun profile drawing experience in the style of Gilbert Stuart, or just try making crackle art with ANY kind of crayon drawings.
