About Lil’ smARTies

Books in the Lil’ smARTies series encourage hands-on learning though art and play!

Did you know that when a child regularly engages in hands-on art-making their brain builds connections that contribute to their cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development? It’s true!

For young children, the first step of learning is learning to use their senses. Activities that engage your child’s senses of sight, touch, smell, sound, and taste are extremely valuable.

Art-making and creative play engage multiple senses, often simultaneously. This makes them invaluable for preparing and supporting your child’s mind and body for multiple modes of learning.

As a certified art educator, I designed the Lil’ smARTies series to guide kids (and you, their grownups) through fun, age-appropriate creative experiences.
