Later when you use the pictures at home you can cover things like:Art skills: practice colouring and art skills use that art program on the shelf or just work on technique, blending colours, using different strokes and values (shades of light to dark).Geography:

AT LAST I've worked out how to give you an idea of how a whole page looks but unfortunately, the image comes out unclear and smaller in size if you print it, this is because of the program that has to be used to upload whole pages online.
