I sliced up some boxes in randomly shaped pieces large, medium, small, taught basic notches to connect, and saw the pieces turn into great stuff in the hands and imaginations of my ColorWheels kids today. #artteacher #elementaryart

Back-to-school wiener dogs ( and a mouse, an alligator, a unicorn, a shark…) celebrate the start of classes for ColorWheels. They’d be awesome PB characters. I’ve got 85 artists on my rosters this semester at 4 schools and they’re already teaching me tons. #elementaryart #artteacher #kidlit

This morning I brought Recycle Robots to St. Peter’s Summer Camp in Litchfield Park, Arizona—so much fun watching campers create characters out of trash. Bonus#1: two IKEA bags of recycle out of my garage. Bonus #2: my teenager made the montage & taught me how to use CapCut. #artteachers #kidsart

These are crafty fish that may or may not be named Jeff, but you can trust them to keep toddlers happy for THIRTY MINUTES while small humans practice making choices, using fine motor skills, and exercising creative problem solving skills. @Neil Sharpson and @Dan Santat. #artteacher
