Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - Art for Primary Grades - My Yard Sale Find
Don't you love it when you find something useful for really cheap at a yard sale? Well one of my best finds was an earlier edition of this book: Handbook of Arts and Crafts ...for .25!!! I've been slacking on formal art lessons, not going much beyond pulling out the drawing books and art supplies, so I decided I'd map out the rest of our school year, up to when we change grades in January. This will be for my 6yo and 9yo girls.
