There are some really fun and exciting projects in this kit. Each kit includes the instructions and most of the materials to complete easy and fun art, handicraft and nature study projects. (Please note you will need to supply some common art supplies to complete these projects such as scissors, paintbrush and markers.)

To start with we have a mini canvas magnet project. Your child will design an abstract painting on a miniature canvas. It's just 2" x 4"! The mini canvas and the magnetic tape are included as well as all the instructions to get you started.

The next project is a pair of finger knit flowers. These are so simple and fun to make. Your child will learn to finger knit using my video tutorials. The yarn and yarn needle needed to complete this project are included in your kit. (Yarn colors will vary.)

The next project is a newspaper butterfly garland. Your child will make a colorful butterfly garland to hang up somewhere in your house. The instructions and twine are included.

With the last handicraft project in this kit, your child will learn how to make a 3-dimensional "painting" with tissue paper pulp. Your child will really enjoy this new technique. All the tissue paper, canvas and instructions needed to complete this interesting project can be found in this kit.

The featured artist is Martin Johnson Heade and the art print is his Blue Morpho Butterfly. There is a notebooking page focusing on Heade and the included art print.

The art element being discussed in this kit is contrast. The contrast notebooking page will help your child to learn what contrast in art is and to recognize contrasts in the Blue Morpho Butterfly art print.

There is also a notebooking page focusing on textures. There is a texture rubbing project your child will complete. He will be encouraged to think of descriptive words to describe different textures he views in works of art.

The nature study portion of this kit is a 3 page set of notebooking pages focusing on butterflies. Your child will learn about the life cycle of butterflies, how to tell a male and female monarch butterfly apart and the anatomy of a butterfly.

In all this kit includes:
2 handicraft projects, 2 art projects, 1 art print, 1 artist notebooking page,

2 art element notebooking pages and 1 set of nature study notebooking pages
