Creative art for children is my specialty (not curriculums in general, sorry). I am the author of twenty books on the subject ... books filled with art projects and art ideas. I would be happy to help think up projects for kids in particular areas of interest. Again, I am an expert in ART, but not really in "Crafts", and though I know how to make art work in a homeschooling environment, I am not a homeschool specialist. I`m happy to help. MaryAnn F.

Creative freedom!!
Children who draw on a regular basis do better in math and reading than children who do not draw. Drawing in this case means simply that... drawing on plain paper.
I like to think that art is a process, not just a final product. So I like to see kids experiment, discover, explore.

If it was a huge downpour, it would wash away to a faded level. If it was just "wet", it would stay longer. Tempera is very much something that dissolves in water. You might look into "BioColors"
Thank you for writing. I hope I can answer your questions. Comparing tempera and acrylic paints is like comparing tape and glue...they both stick, but they are completely different. Tempera is cheap
Oh my goodness, I missed giving you your reply. Please forgive me. You are right...summer is different, and i was lost in other things. I think the approach you are taking is wonderful. You are giving
There are many. If you do a search on google or yahoo, you will have more than you can even look at. I have not used a particular one so am unqualified to recommend one. Sorry my answer is not much help
