The last thing you need during your free time is to spend hours hunting Pinterest for lessons that "might" work and come with no instructions. Instead of "I'm done", you'll see students begging to come to art class. Our projects are core-subject connected, standards aligned, focus on the elements and principles, different media, and we include both the masters and diverse, working artists.
"I'm not artsy" doesn't mean you can't teach your kids art. If you haven't picked up a paintbrush since elementary school, you're in the right place. Our projects are step-by-step, full of pictures, and link up to popular curriculum choices like Torchlight, Brave Writer, and Build Your Library. And yes, we even have videos!
The school year is half over – and if your kids have been asking for more art, it might be time for you to learn about the Glitterbombers membership!

We’ll show you how to teach art to kids – or you can enjoy our hundreds of videos and get the time you need for you.

As a child, I spent hours drawing in my bedroom. I illustrated the characters, where they lived, what they wore.
As soon as I had kids, I immediately started hosting art-themed play dates and teaching other homeschoolers. Homeschoolers told me that teaching art felt out of their reach and that they weren’t welcomed in other art teaching communities. Art teachers told me that they were tired of the same old lessons, and they were feeling burnt out and uninspired.
So I set out to change all of that. I wanted projects that were kid-approved: dragons, pirates, and aliens – as well as taught a robust art curriculum. So after failing to find what I wanted, I founded Soul Sparklettes Art and The Glitter Bomb® with a single mission – to inspire and empower anyone who teaches art to kids – 700 a day, or only 1 at the dining table.
Now I run Soul Sparklettes Art along with my business partner Jenny Bassett, an art teacher in New York. I also have a team of the most incredible women at my back – meet them on the “Our Team” page.
