Let's Get Creative!   Kelly Kits are all inclusive art curriculum kits designed for children 18 months to 10 yrs old. They are art-play experiences in painting, drawing, sculpting, print-making, and collage. Kelly Kits strengthen fine motor skills, develop pre-writing skills, focus on the experience - not the "result", develop language, color recognition, math concepts, provide a unique bonding experience for caregiver and child, build confidence and self-esteem, encourage creative "color-outside-of-the-lines" thinking, cause & effect logic, and educate parents about how children learn through explorative play with an emphasis that there is no "right way" to do something. "Make yours like mine" is highly discouraged. Most of all Kelly Kits are fun! Kelly Kits encourage art play using a wide variety of creative tools & materials beyond what coloring books can offer. The Original Kelly Kit comes complete with one set of five unique activities that cover the five art disciplines: painting, drawing, sculpting, printmaking, & collage. Each kit contains all of the tools & materials needed for the activities, the user just needs access to a kitchen! To increase functionality for homeschooling parents, each activity includes an instruction card with an enrichment idea to adapt the art activity to a school lesson. Kelly Kits are designed to encourage creativity & teach! (less) ... (more)
