"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.
