Parents, here is a fun way to introduce letters and their sounds to your preschool age children. Our Eyeball It Letters and Numbers Project is a great way to get started. First, go through the letters of the alphabet with an introductory book, game, or song. Then practice making the sound of each letter with kids. For example, point to one letter, say the letter’s name, write the letter (explaining how you are doing so out loud), and sound out the letter. Ask children to think together about words that begin with that letter sound.

Our Story.

Eyeball It!® is a product of my belief that children's intelligence grows in the act of doing — seeing, thinking and making art, all at the same time. The kind of visual and “physical” intelligence I'm trying to provoke in my students will have, I hope, a significant effect on (1) their ability to understand abstract and spatial concepts in math and science and (2) their ability to solve problems — both abstract and practical — creatively. Ideally, I want them to develop a flexible, confident visual intelligence — a joyful intelligence, as I see it — that revels in new challenges and experiences.

There are no right or wrong answers in art!
