Kindergarten sculpture

Kids use cardboard, beads, and clay to make stacked sculptures. A perfect process art experience that is great for toddlers through elementary age, and works both hand eye coordination and fine motor skills.

I'm so VERY excited to present my very first guest blogger on MiniMatisse. I met Mark Rode a couple months back at a training and we share our social media information with each other.

Mark is an Elementary Art Teacher at Oxbow Creek Elementary in Champlin Minnesota. He explains that his inspiration came from another teacher in West Australia, Ann Farrell. I'm a fan of her…
