Digital Art with Color Sight Words

Put a creative twist on sight words with this interactive digital art project for kids.

STEAM is the combination of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Our children are digital natives meaning they don’t know the world without technology. This activity is a hands-on way to introduce word processing skills while reinforcing sight words.
