So! You've been surfing the web looking for those perfect, age appropriate Arts and Crafts ideas for your preschool classroom and you've suddenly realized a few things about many of those projects.

#1- Many of the projects are just not appropriate for kids of all ages and abilities

#2- Most are not open ended or creative

#3- And a good deal of the crafts include costly materials

So you keep looking.... and you see lots of websites claiming to give you art activities that are beneficial for kids. Or else you see websites for adult crafts. Lots of them.

You know, unfortunately,  real Art  in the adult world is relegated to people who actually consider themselves artistic. Many adults who love art  and would love to be really creative but they have no ideas or inspiration of their own so they turn to crafts

How many of us adults are so scared to do anything in art because after all "I can't draw a straight line"

BUT! Whoever said art was about drawing straight lines?

Kids don't have those blocks that we do and no child will turn down a chance to do art because  she  thinks she can't..... 

until us adults ruin it for her and him.....

 by giving them an endless supply of copycat crafts to make. 

Since art is so wonderful and so much fun it is probably THE most common activity in any preschool classroom in the world and as a preschool teacher you most probably spend lots of time trying to come up with interesting art activities for your students...that's why you're surfing the web looking for some right now.

ALL children are artistic,  it has to be given free rein in a structured manner and as a result, art can be a  crucial vehicle to help develop basic developmental skills.
 
Lets look at some of these criteria that should  be part of parcel of almost every art project.

#2- Art projects should be set up to allow children to think and solve problems

#3- Art should be a vehicle for children's self esteem to flourish

#4-Art should foster creativity.

#5-And though not an absolute prerequisite, wonderful activities can be done with minimal cost                                

If your projects don't meet these criteria it may be time to reexamine the results of traditional arts and crafts

              Take  this  very distressing example....

A woman I know, a real educator was getting on in years and had quit full time preschool teaching. She was asked one day to substitute in a second grade classroom.....

She decided she was going to give these children a bit of extracurricular activity as she felt bad for them sitting so quietly at their desks all day. So as a former preschool teacher she decided to give them an art activity.

She prepared all of the materials and being a progressive teacher did not have a specific idea of what the art should look like when finished and told the children as much. She had one child help her hand out the materials and quite satisfied with herself sat back down to do some of her own work. She told them to begin and lost herself in her work.

Introducing.....
The Complete Guide to Smart Art for Preschool.

The definitive, step by step, detailed guide of how and why to incorporate a complete non crafts art program for your preschool classroom or daycare center.

Explore some of the exciting chapters in this guide:         

 Why do art the Smart Art way? Explains reasoning behind smart art vs. traditional arts and crafts that will also help you explain these ideas to  parents.

 Projects:  Please the parents AND the kids as you fit developmentally appropriate art projects into your curriculum

 Exciting new center for your work period:  Incorporate a thriving art center in addition to all of the other art activities done in a standard pre- school classroom. No more using the art center to store art materials. 

 Tray painting:Kids  bored of easel painting? Take painting beyond the easel with a wonderful method of painting done at the Bank Street School that  children just adore. 

 Tie art into other curriculum areas: Need to cover many curriculum areas? Use art as a starting point for all basic kills. 

 Collage step by step: Banish spur of the moment collages that consist of small scraps of paper leftover from other projects. Instead take the children on a journey of collage in progressive steps with each activity building on the previous one. Their collages will rival any of those hanging in the museum of Modern Art. 

 Art and famous artists:  Add some some culture in your classroom. Incorporate famous artists and their techniques into your curriculum.

 Planning for Smart Art: Wondering how Smart Art can fit into your classroom situation? Learn to plan properly using a sample curriculum so that Smart Art and all of its benefits gets incorporated into your daily schedule. 

 Motivating children:Learn what to say to and how to motivate the children that don't know where or how to start. You will never again hear “I don’t know how” or “I can’t”.

 Art with large groups:Have no choice but to do art in large groups? Do right.

 How to make children’s artwork look like masterpieces:Nervous how the children’s artwork will come out looking? Enhance children’s artwork without compromising one iota on the work itself

The Smart Art Guide comes complete with pictures, diagrams and charts to make it fun and easy for you to implement.



Once you start implementing these ideas, you will be so hooked I can actually guarantee that you will never want to go back to traditional arts and crafts. You may even get the delicious pleasure I get  watching young children with their tongues sticking out in concentration as they create their very own pieces of artwork.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Faige Kobre

I am  a former preschool teacher and director with a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College of Education.

I am definitely one of those people who suffered from an overly structured preschool program. I am a very creative person with a definite block and so I make up for my deficit by teaching teachers how to tap into every child's creativity so that they will grow upto be thinking, independent, creative,self starters. (Or at least enter elementary school that way)

I  created this guide to help any teacher ,( traditional, progressive, Montessori)that wants to use these techniques but is hesitant for many reasons. This guide is good for new and experienced teachers as it takes you on a journey in a step by step fashion/ how to  set up and run the most wonderful non crafts, progressive,  Smart Art program.

"I find you information extremely helpful. The information is presented clearly and there are lots of great ideas and extension on those ideas. The materials you suggest are easily accessible and your ideas are very open ended and the children are tnot copying something the teacher has maed.

Jodie Dyer

“This guide is so well organized and chock full of so many wonderful amazing ideas and extra. I can’t believe that Faige has managed to put together such a needed product”

Leah Zytman Principal in School on Brooklyn N.Y.

So here it is…. The guide that does all the work for you ..

Now of course, I'm not expecting you to take my word for it?

I'm actually going to let you purchase this with a 
100%  money back guarantee

An e book with a guarantee?

That right ! Because I am so sure that  you will love it that I am willing to take that chance and if it does not suit you, just return it with no questions asked.

“Okay, so how much do you think this will this cost you”?

Let’s just imagine taking a standard ART for teachers course in your college curriculum. A required course. You’d have to read some basic texts on art theory if you can get through them at all….then you’d spend your days in the course actually doing various art activities that are appropriate for young children.

At least that’s what I did in graduate school.

 But you will still be expected to pay at least $200-$300 per credit. Considering that each course is around 3 credits that leaves you with a bill of around$600-$900 and that’s in a cheap college. In a school like Bank Street it will be closer to $2000 a course.
 
Now remember the amount of information listed that is packed into this guide to Smart Art. ...and we can easily say there is at least about $500-$700 worth of information in it if not more.

But I do know that teachers are not at the high end of the pay scale and I really want teachers everywhere to be able to afford this and don’t want any preschool teachers to be without this indispensable guide. What a dream to have teachers all over the world giving children the experience of Smart Art.

PLUS the software did not allow me to insert page numbers, a real inconvenience)

 $87 was the price we were initially selling it for...
BUT...due to the above problems, I decided to sell it for for a very limited time only , practically giving it away for$44. and…as soon as this trial period is up and all of the glitches are fixed it will go right back up to $87.
