I love the "Behind The Scenes" series!! I've used them all, and kids 4-8
really love Penn and Teller, the funny guys who host the series.They
emphasize creative thinking but are great reinforcements about elements of
art. There are so many ways to connect to other lessons, and there are lots
of good ideas in the accompanying curriculum guide. I show few videos, but
these I love.
