Kids and Creativity: Klutz Books
Klutz books are an easy way for kids to be creative. But what makes these books so special? 
Kids learn best when they can see, touch and do it. This hands-on approach is what keeps kids engaged and having fun! Klutz books are the standard in experiential hands-on kid’s crafts and science topics.

The last two weeks of the school year are challenging because all library books and netbooks must be returned. Every year I look for worthwhile and engaging activities for my students to do in this early morning period. This year I discovered a wonderful resource – YouTube drawing lessons by Young Rembrandts.
