About The Series
GMAP Art and Craft Series
The GMAP Art and Craft Series is thoughtfully curated to nurture creativity, cognitive development, and emotional expression in children. Through imaginative activities and hands-on experiences, the series encourages learners to explore, reflect, and connect with their world in a meaningful way.
Designed for young artists of all skill levels, this series offers enriching opportunities to develop fine motor skills, visual literacy, and problem-solving abilities—all while fostering joy, self-confidence, and collaboration in the learning environment.
Promotes Creativity
Art helps children think outside the box and encourages imaginative thinking. It's a vital tool for solving real-world problems and generating innovative ideas.
Encourages Neural Connections
Art activates multiple senses and engages children's brains, enhancing cognitive development through playful sensory experiences.
Builds Fine Motor Skills
Through drawing, painting, cutting, and sculpting, children develop hand-eye coordination and dexterity while having fun.
Prepares for Writing
Early scribbling lays the groundwork for handwriting. Children learn shape and movement control through repeated creative practice.
Develops Problem-Solving Abilities
Open-ended art activities teach kids to make decisions, experiment, and think critically—all essential for innovation and adaptability.
Fosters Self-Expression
Art gives children a safe outlet to express emotions and reflect on their experiences in a creative, non-verbal form.
Builds Connections
Art creates shared experiences that bring people together, regardless of language or background. It helps kids collaborate and connect with others.

Salient Features
Educators Perspective
Educators tell us that art encourages fine motor skills, neural development, and problem-solving abilities and that it can be used effectively to teach and understand other key subjects such as reading, writing, math, and science.
Therapists Insight
Therapists tell us that art is valuable because it allows children to process their world, to deal with sometimes scary emotions in a safe way, and because it gives them critical sensory input.
Artist's View
Artists tell us that art is important for its own sake—as a source of beauty and expression, as well as simply for the process of creating.
The Bigger Picture
Art is naturally linked to creativity, an attribute that is increasingly being touted as one of the most important factors for the success of individuals, organizations, and cultures. The truth is that art is vital, if somewhat intangible, and that if children engage in hands-on art activities, they learn much better in all disciplines.
Children's Experience
Children tell us that art is fun, an activity they enjoy.
Parent's Thoughts
Parents tell us that art is vital to their families because it keeps everyone engaged and happy and helps with the sometimes difficult transitions of the day.
