Happy back to school, already! Can’t believe it’s that time of year again. As kids settle into the routine of school and homework, it can be a hectic time. There’s a lot of firsts for younger kids. New teacher, new friends and sometimes new schools. If a child feels overwhelmed, have them sit down with paper and crayons and draw out their feelings. Sometimes that’s all they need to feel better. It quiets their minds and helps them relax if they are stressed. Doing art can help children (and adults) in so many ways. There is a saying that “art heals” and it’s so true.

I remember our three kids coming home from school with drawings of our family. They were so precious. Those drawings made us smile, which made the kids so happy and proud.

I hope you all have an easy start to the new school year. I will be adding fall themed art kits to my website in October.

Thanks for following along,

Lynne
