The start of a new school year can set the tone for how that year will turn out. The concept of a vision board (also known as a goal board, goal map, or treasure map) has been around for generations, but it's gained a renewed interest and popularity as of late.
Instructions:
Instructions:
- The first step is to create a list of intentions with your child. What are their hopes and dreams for the upcoming school year?
- Next, collect visual images to go with the list of intentions.
- To accompany the images, add decorative handmade paper scraps, pretty stickers, and attach with Clementine Natural glue.
- Decorate the vision board using Clementine Art Natural Paint, Markers and Soy Crayons and Crayon Rocks to add shading, doodling and drawing and your child's personal touches and creative expressions.
- Let the board dry overnight, then hang in a place where your child can view everyday, reinforcing their intentions for the year!

About Clementine Art:
Clementine Art was founded in 2008 by Diana Mercer, a former teacher with over 20 years of experience in the field of education, arts education, and child development. Diana created Clementine Art to encourage open-ended art explorations for children. The process of creating art is a powerful developmental tool for children, and Clementine Art products encourage children to dream, imagine, experiment, create, problem-solve, and above all, express themselves. Explains Diana: "Real art is about creating. Early childhood educators know that the process of creating art is just as important to a child's development as the outcome. I wanted to create products that not only engaged children in an open-ended creative process,but that could also become an everyday part of a healthy and creative lifestyle."
