Some art projects are integrated in lessons to help develop a better understanding of the material to be learned. For example, as part of a science lesson, the children might collect various items such as leaves, sticks, berries, or acorns during a nature walk and later use them to design decorative collages or picture frames. Learning centers or corners should be set up in the classrooms stocked with a wide selection of materials that can be utilized in a variety of ways for creating projects. Easels should also be set up for either painting individually or with a partner. Creativity is learned through good art projects.

Each game or activity has certain skills that are learned and the children benefit, especially since they love to participate in each one.
