Art and music time for pre-K (ages 3–5)
Use this screen during your pre-K art or music block to guide young students through a creative activity. The visual timer, picture, and checklist help little learners know what to do next and when to finish.
Children see a friendly background, picture of today’s activity, clear steps, and a shrinking timer. They can check off each part as they go, making transitions smoother and more predictable.
