We have found our Art Study for the fall!!  We will be using an excellent book from ARTistic Pursuits called The Way They SEE It, A Book for Every Parent About the Art Children Make.  I am so thankful we did this review!



There are 26 Projects within the book.  There are also "Grown-Up Talk" pages that are for parents to also learn and understand about young children's art.

List of materials needed for projects in the book. We had most of these items on hand.
What I love most about this particular book, is that it makes art very simple for little kids and parents who (like me) aren't very versed in Art.  In the book, this is called "Picture Talk."  I have loved the idea of introducing Kory to art study, but felt like it was just a bit much for her at her age (4).  This book encourages me to start art study with her and build a foundation that we can build on in the future to study deeper as she gets older.

On the "Picture Talk" pages, there is a photo of an art piece with a brief background description and questions to ask the child.  I like that it is all thought out for me.

Two of the projects we did were the Impressions Project and the The Sky I See Project.  Both of them were super fun and Kory LOVED them.  She loves being creative.

Finished Sky drawing project.  Bonus self-portrait.
Imprinting the Pine Cone in Play-Doh.

Studying Pine Cone imprint.

Other items Kory found to imprint.

There are also FREE video art lessons available on the ARTistic Pursuits Blog.  These are very well produced videos just for kids.  These 16 week lessons will be available every summer.

Also on that site are online courses for the K-3 level books.  These courses include a 64 page flip book with 12 art appreciation lessons and 6 video courses.  If your child seems to develop a deep love for art, these courses will be worth it!

ARTistic Pursuits has Art studies for ALL ages, so be sure to check them out!

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. We have enjoyed adding in a few great resources at the Download Club from My Teaching Library !  Trying out My Teaching Library was perfect timing!  For our Kindergarten curriculum, during "Sun" and "Moon" weeks, we used worksheets from the Download Club.   My Teaching Library offers resources for all grades starting with PreK!   First up for us was the Solar System Posters and Worksheets to help Kory learn more about the Sun and its size compared to other planets.  The quality of these posters and worksheets are great!  We saw how close Mercury is to the sun and how tiny Pluto is! Next is "Ll Leaf" week and we did an Autumn Art Leaf Mobile craft project. Even Noelle, my 22 month-old girl, enjoyed some activity pages from MTL.  She ha...

Growing Spiritually with Julie Naturally

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. It was Mama's turn to study while growing spiritually through the Faith Journeys Bible Study Series: Romans  bundle with Julie Polanco from Julie Naturally . I went through an 8 week study with Julie through the book of Romans.  The study is video-based and a study guide is available to print (or shipped for a small fee).  The videos feel like you're right there in Julie's living room with her while watching.  I also can listen to the videos while in my office working on sewing projects. In the study guide, there is a scripture focus and questions for thought following along in the study.  These work best for me because it allows me to dig deeper into scripture and grow more spiritually. As you go through the study and read through the book of Romans, there ar...

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. My girls love doing music class at home with our  Musik at Home Membership ! We can do the class literally anywhere.  I just log in, find the song we're doing, and let it play on the laptop while the girls sing and play along.  There is also a Musik at Home app available for Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire TV. The videos are very personal; it's as if you're in Kathryn's living room!   Tapping our knees. There really are options for children of all ages.  Musik at Home starts with music for babies and toddlers.  You can start music and singing with even the youngest of babies.  We know that singing is great for development, and Musik at Home helps parents with these special times! These classes go beyond just typical kids' music class song...
