Like girls, as the popular Cindy Lauper song said, kids just want to have fun. Who can blame them? Who doesn’t like having fun? If the curriculum they’re using is fun, they’ll also learn a lot too.
Art history curriculum for kids should be fun, but fun doesn’t mean unchallenging or easy. Curriculum for kids should be both challenging and entertaining. There’s no need to avoid substantial topics, they can handle it if it’s presented well…if it makes them want to learn more. Learning doesn’t have to be boring. Boredom is the enemy of learning. Learning can be fun!
