2011-10-10 I volunteer to teach art to classes k-3rd and we have enjoyed using your site on our promethiun or smart boards. The children love doing the puzzles and I plan to use VanGogh prints to teach this week. I can illustrate his work with the flip of a button! Wonderful! Thank you so much! Tammy |
