I Imagine, I Create

Learning to use his or her imagination is a crucial part of any child's development. I Imagine, I Create guides children to channel their imaginations by doodling, painting, drawing, and pasting-and having tons of fun in the process! Aly Rios is an artist who has worked with preschoolers and knows that through painting and drawing, children learn to express emotions and feelings in a way that is often more difficult to achieve with words. With directions written in both English and Spanish, children are provided free zones to express themselves and fun illustrations with simple instructions like "draw clouds over the city" or "draw funny shoes on the cow" or "paint the water falling over the flowers" that allow children to rely on art to create and imagine the world from their own perspective. When a child learns to use their imagination, ideas flow and magic happens not only on the paper but also in their lives. I Imagine, I Create encourages young people to let their imaginations fly and then feel the joy of expressing themselves in their own unique way.
