The creative arts are an essential part of the primary school education. By using the activities in these books, you can reinforce number and letter recognition, strengthen fine-motor skills, and foster creativity and confidence. A craft is included for each read-aloud book in our Jr. Kindergarten, Kindergarten, First, and Second grade programs. While the crafts in these books have been carefully chosen to promote skill growth and coordination, the most important component is fun. Enjoy each of your creations and the time spent together making them!
