New Copy the Classics: Volume 2

After the success of Copy the Classics, we are thrilled to announce a new sequel for use with Bigger Hearts for His Glory.

These easy-to-follow, clear instructions will have students painting like a poet in no time!



Paint Nature’s Palette for Missions to Modern Marvels

Paint Nature’s Palette features 17 nature-themed poems by classic poets such as William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and Rudyard Kipling.

By the end of the year in Missions to Modern Marvels, students will have a lovely nature portfolio stuffed with paintings, poetry, and fun facts about the outdoors!
