"In My Imagination" Creative Curriculum Guide

This month’s guide is packed with our favorite imagination boosting, creative confidence inducing, easy-to-prep invitations, projects, and experiences. It doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, many of this month’s invitations require one or two basic materials that you might have on hand whether you’re at home, in the classroom, on a picnic, or even on an airplane. As usual, we kid-tested every one of the invitations we’ve designed, and we’re happy to report that not only did children and adults alike enjoy the creative prompts and games, but our experiences were full of laughter, connection, magic, and fun!

Our curriculum is inclusive and honors each child’s individuality and way of thinking and working. Consider each guide like a beautiful magazine where creativity meets education. They are more than a collection of art ideas, they are the KEY to a cohesive, child-centered, manageable creative practice for your family at home, or to integrate with your homeschool or classroom curriculum.

Our Whole Child Guide is our original 25-page guide and includes:

• Each month is based on a theme or “Big Idea” that ties to every offering in the guide

• 20 invitations (one for each weekday of the month), 10 art and 10 play, that can be cut into cards and kept in a box as a resource to build upon

• 2 weekend family art projects

• Master supply list

• Creative thinking skills

• 8 creative snack ideas that complement the theme

• A rich, teacher-approved picture book list with an emphasis on diversity, inclusion, earth stewardship, and kindness

• Guidance on trusting children and following their lead

• Sample schedules on how to “Make a Day” of the invitations for camp

• An artist spotlight featuring living and working artists

• A master one-page calendar of the month that you can print and post on the art room wall for easy reference
