Publisher's Description of Abeka Nursery Arts and Crafts
From making a Creation mobile to a turkey headband, your child, ages 18–24 months, will love these fun-filled pages containing 80 projects! Each week, your child will have one or two pages to color or paint, introducing him to a new color each month. Every other week, he will be given a simple craft project with themes of Bible stories, colors, seasons, or holidays for a total of 20 crafts. A plan-ahead supply list informs you of the low-cost materials needed for the entire year. In addition, each project contains its own list of supplies with instructions for what the parent will do and what the child will do. Teaching tips help you keep art time organized and introduce your child to the good habits he will need for his early education years. At the end of the year, your child will review all his colors and learn the four basic shapes. You and your child will delight in having art and craft work to present to family and friends.
Category Description for Abeka Art Curriculum
With clear instructions for the teacher, even a not-too-artsy parent can work in an art lesson in 25-30 minutes a week. A year at a glance schedule and the scope & sequence of topics covered lay out what you can expect for the school year. Teacher tips and plan ahead supply lists make this program very user-friendly. Teacher help and student pages at each level are all in one convenient book. Art concepts or techniques are clearly defined at the beginning of each lesson. This includes vocabulary words. In grades 4-6, the focus of the lessons is basic drawing techniques, painting, color concepts and perspective. I appreciate the extended projects for more artsy students to do on their own after the lesson. In the younger levels K-3, projects are more of the cut & paste crafty projects kids love, with some basics on the color wheel. The holiday and seasonal pages are especially fun! Many of the pages are even started for the student to finish. You could not find an easier way to work some arts & crafts into your week than this friendly, one book format series that only requires a few basic art supplies. Perforated pages are not reproducible. Large 9" x 12" format. Books in the series range from 119-167 pgs, pb. ~Sara
Category Description for Grade Pre-K
"Art" for 2s and 3s consists of large pages with simple activities to teach children foundational art concepts. The volume for two-year-old children presents shapes and colors, following directions and developing eye-hand coordination. At 3, these skills continue, and they add seasonal and patriotic themes, religious art, health, safety and science pictures. Both levels include lots of simple wide lines for drawing – and kids create a book of their finished pages. Images are soft and charming and line up with the pre-school lessons featured in the Abeka curriculum.
