We are so excited to announce the brand new category of Africa. This new group of projects offers twelve new and fun ways to explore Africa through art. Some of our projects feature a group of exciting native African animals. We have several make and wear projects that are sure to have your little artist wanting a selfie.

Let’s use our imaginations to pretend we are on safari. Your little artist can make one of our many African animals projects. Pretending that he or she is the animal, your little artist will want you take pictures. At the end of your safari, you can play ‘pretend’ and make stories about what the animals do. This is sure to be a fun way to learn.

Some of our favorite projects are make and wear projects. We love masks and head bands. One of our favorites is this lovable antelope.
