With an emphasis on the art production skills of drawing and painting, there are thirty activities for each grade level from kindergarten kindergarten [Ger.,=garden of children], system of preschool education. Friedrich Froebel designed (1837) the kindergarten to provide an educational situation less formal than that of the elementary school but one in which children's creative play instincts would be  to eighth-grade.

It's a worthwhile resource for kindergarten through eighth-grade art teachers.
