Discover Line + Movement — 8 done-for-you art lessons for ages 3-8, paired with the book "Lines That Wiggle."
No worksheets. No screens. Just hands-on creativity.
This is Unit 2 of the Create + Play Curriculum: a line and movement unit built for one goal — helping your child fall in love with the way a mark can move, long before they're ever asked to "draw it right."
Before kids can hold a pencil with control, they already know how to scribble, swoop, and wiggle their whole arm across a page. This unit meets them exactly there. Paired with the fun and wiggly book "Lines That Wiggle" by Candace Whitman, your child will roll marbles through paint, string painted pasta into a wearable line, squish yarn into loops and spirals, and turn sidewalk chalk into soft, creamy strokes — all while building the kind of body-first, sensory understanding of line that later becomes confident, expressive drawing.
Whether you're homeschooling, filling your preschooler's week with purposeful play, or just tired of screen time guilt, this unit hands you everything you need — already planned, already tested, already loved by the kids in our art workshops.
What's included:
✔ 8 done-for-you lesson plans (4 Create + 4 Play)
✔ Two built-in age tracks — Little Artists (3-5) and Young Artists (6-8) — using the same setup and materials, so siblings can create side by side
✔ Unit overview page
✔ Master supply list, organized by category, with linked materials
✔ Philosophy + developmental "why" page
✔ Academic connections page (math, science, early literacy, social studies)
✔ Reflection + documentation page to capture your child's own words alongside their art
Why parents love the Create + Play Curriculum:
🎨 No art degree required — just a willingness to get a little messy
🧠 Created by a former preschool teacher and child development specialist
👶 Works for multiple ages at once, using one setup
🌱 Rooted in Reggio Emilia, process-over-product philosophy
📦 Simple, household materials — nothing fancy required
