Whole-Brain Learning Kits Your Classroom Will Love
Read & Paint kits bring together literacy and creative art to engage every kind of learner — visual, kinesthetic, and verbal — in one joyful activity.
Built to Support What You're Already Teaching
Read & Paint kits aren't just fun — they're educationally intentional. Every kit aligns with core learning objectives across multiple subjects.
Each kit centers on a published children's book. Students read the story, discuss characters and themes, then express their understanding through art — a powerful comprehension reinforcement technique.
The pre-traced canvas from the story gives students a scaffold for success while still leaving room for personal creative choices — color, stroke, interpretation. No student finishes with the same painting.
The act of reading and creating together builds emotional vocabulary, empathy (connecting to characters), confidence (completing a real artwork), and the joy of self-expression.
5 Ways Teachers Use Read & Paint Kits
Flexible enough to fit your schedule — from a single afternoon to a multi-week literacy unit.
Browse the KitsCap off a reading unit with a paint session. Kids finish their book, then paint a scene from the story as a take-home keepsake.
Send the kit home as a family activity — parents read with their child, then they paint together. Extends learning beyond the classroom.
Instead of a written report, students paint and present — explaining which scene they painted and why, developing oral communication skills.
Self-directed, structured, and genuinely engaging. Students can work independently while producing something they're proud of.
The finished canvases are real artwork — professional-quality canvas and paint produces results worth displaying in the hallway or school art show.
