Amazing products!!!!
Thank you
Elk River Free Library District
Thank you for your review! We’re happy to hear that you and your students had a great time with Traveling Artist.
Thank you so much for the big box of fantastic art supplies! The teacher's manual is great and I plan on using it after my Summer Reading Program 2024 is over. I'm thinking of using the lessons during the next year with each lesson as a special event. This will nicely coincide with the 2025 Summer Reading Program theme " Color Our World." Great timing! You've helped me tremendously for next year's Summer Reading Program! Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! It means a lot to us that your students are benefiting from our programs. We hope you have many fun years of STEM learning to come!
My learners love the activities and really enjoy making the art forms their own. It's been wonderful to see them develop as artists and to watch their personal style come to the forefront. I love the provided background information and that the instructions are ready to go. This aspect of the program saves me literally hours of prep time each month.
