Quick and Easy Art, the groundbreaking new art‑integration initiative from Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley, is making its debut this summer—bringing creativity, confidence, and kindergarten readiness to young learners everywhere.
Designed by renowned early‑childhood educator and CEO Elizabeth Fraley, Quick and Easy Art is part of the Kinder Ready curriculum that already includes acclaimed programs like subtraction quizzes, book‑report tools, and executive‑functioning courses. This newest offering takes a hands‑on, arts‑infused approach that empowers children to express themselves visually while building essential academic and developmental skills.
“Art is not just about drawing or painting,” says Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready. “With Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley‑branded programs, Quick and Easy Art offers accessible, joyful ways for children to develop fine motor skills, visual literacy, and emotional intelligence. We make art playful and purposeful—integrating it into everyday learning.”
A Holistic, Accessible Art Curriculum
Quick and Easy Art features:
- Simple, guided art activities tying into reading, math, and science themes.
- Minimal setup requirements—perfect for classrooms, daycares, or home environments.
- Creative prompts designed to ignite imagination: e.g., “draw your favorite shape and add math patterns,” or “paint how today made you feel.”
- Family‑friendly extensions that encourage parents and siblings to draw and discuss with their child.
This format aligns with Kinder Ready’s philosophy of empowering families to integrate learning at home—a strategy previously shown to boost school readiness.
Supporting Key Developmental Domains
Quick and Easy Art aligns with core early childhood domains:
- Cognitive development: Prompts reinforce sequencing, patterns, and pre‑literacy skills, building on the program’s classical sequencing framework.
- Motor skills: Art tools like scissors, brushes, crayons support hand–eye coordination and fine motor control.
- Social‑emotional growth: Shared art projects encourage collaboration, empathy, and self‑expression. Elizabeth Fraley emphasizes fine arts as a channel for emotional fluency.
- Creativity & problem‑solving: Quick and Easy Art challenges children to design, modify, and reflect—all in a fun, low‑stakes way.
