Art Supplies

We have created fun and engaging lesson plans suitable for all ages. Our projects are very hands-on, and we hope to get a little messy ! We are bringing a wide range of art supplies with us, including watercolors, oil pastels, inks, crayons, colored pencils, tempera paint, origami papers, glue sticks, paintbrushes, fabrics, and much more.
