April 27 - May 1
Thank you for emailing me all the cool pictures of your artist's pattern rhinoceros. I love how you are having fun, enjoying the process, and not worrying about the end product.
The accommodation and enrichment activities from my last 2 emails and those listed below are NOT required for their artwork. Your child just watches my YouTube video and draws along with me and you email me a picture of their finished artwork. The art videos are not long, their sketchbook page is small in size, and they use whatever supplies they have at home.
K3 & K4
tape your frog drawing to a window, tape your child's paper to the window on top of yours, allow your child to trace the outlines, remove their picture so they can add patterns & color to their shapes (skills: tracing, identifying shapes, coloring neatly, fine motor, focus, patience)
use your imagination to draw & color your own frog
read facts about frogs: https://kids.kiddle.co/Frog
read the fairy tale The Frog Prince (any adaptation)
watch the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog
K5-3rd Grades

draw a frog from any books you have at home (like Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel)
