Young Children



 on the Web



In early childhood, the creative arts curriculum typically includes music, movement, dramatic play, puppetry, and the visual arts-painting, sculpting, drawing, and use of other media. These activities invite children to invent, make discoveries, and explore ideas, objects, and materials. The creative arts allow children to experience the deep satisfaction that comes from making something new, and they support learning in all domains. This issue includes full-length articles, useful charts and checklists, and easy links to Web sites with pertinent information on encouraging young children to express themselves and learn through the creative arts.
