I ordered used a copy of I Can Do All Things. I know it’s not for older ones but I thought why not do it and have a fun year of art for the little ones, too.
My question is for those who have used this with more than 1 kid how did you do it without spending a lot of money making a binder for each?
I was thinking just paper daily and card stock when necessary. Copies on days they need something specific but otherwise blank sheets. What do you think? Thanks Misty
Oh and I wanted to ask.. there are 124 lessons. How long did it take you? I usuallly only do this type of ‘art’ once a week, at that rate it would take me 3 plus years to get through it. How did you plan it out? If you did it more than once a week on ‘average’ how long did it take a day?
We have this, but never finished it. Flipping through now, I’d say that I’d think it challenging to just have blank paper. Do they allow you to copy pages? Many (not all) lessons have things drawn on them already that kids add to….so to get the best use you’d need to copy drawing lessons on plain paper, and painting lessons on cardstock.
How much time…hard to say with many kids and some kids are more perfectionistic and others just want to get done:) But I’d say 20-40 min. or so per lesson. Don’t know if I was much help:) Gina
Thanks you were. I got these in hopes of learning to draw (which is where my kids interests are right now) but they are a more in all program. I can’t afford to just toss them so thought maybe I could work with it. Looking at them the “but never finished it” is what I am afraid of because they are so big. ?? Maybe this wasn’t the correct program for me. I wanted to learn to draw more than all the extra.
My boys are 5, 5, & 7 (for one more week!). I got each one a 3 ring binder and color copied the cover of ICDAT and put it in there (I called them one day and they said it was fine to make copies for my family). I did buy each one their own set of paint and marker cards (we aren’t to that part yet though). So far, I have copied all the drawing lessons on my cheap copy paper and it has been fine. I do have the DVDs but I think you could be fine without them. We all sit at the table and work at the same time. It is a bit chaotic at time, but we have fun 🙂 and I have seen them improve and use some of the techniques in their drawings elsewhere. If you have more specific questions I’ll let you know what I can from our experience, we like it!
Oh, we do more than one lesson at a time sometimes. We do “fun Friday” at our house, so I only do it once a week. Some lessons go really quick, we usually work on it until we are tired of it, I would say around 30 minutes to an hour.
