Arts & Crafts: Tape Resist Art
The beauty of art is that there are no limits. It unleashes our imagination and creativity!
Art is used in many ways, such as for therapy, to express ourselves or our thoughts.
Tape Resist art challenges children to use different colours and create their designs with the tape. The best part is seeing what it looks like once they remove the tape!
Arts & Crafts: Origami Jumping Frogs
Origami, the art of folding a piece of paper and giving it life by turning it into anything; a bear, a plane, or a jumping frog!
