As the Summer draws to a close, we’re left with fond memories of all the adventures we had over the vacation months. So as we get ready to dive into a new school year, we thought it would be fun to give one last hoorah to Summer!

So, gather your supplies (and the kiddos) and gather around the table for these art lessons that celebrate the wonderful colors of spring!
