Cool CAT Art Bag
We are sooo excited to share these art bags with you. The projects are geared towards 3-5 year olds but many do require adult supervision. These projects are considered “Process Art” because it provides flexibility and freedom to explore art materials. Process Art activities develop creative confidence, encourage experimentation, and build fine motor skills.
Remember: There is NO WRONG WAY to do Art!
Can’t wait to see what you create… please tag @coolcatnewark or #coolcatartbag! Enjoy the process!
