These are unusual books, combining art instruction with handwriting practice, and incorporating more than a little history and science instruction along the way. Based on a successful formula created by a now 75-year-old former teacher to inspire her students, these inviting books might become your child's favorite part of the school day! They are non-consumable, as your child will do the actual art work and writing on separate paper. Each book is divided into three themes (see below) with a total of 21 lessons. In the spirit of Drawing with Children, most of the lessons begin with seeing the targeted objects as basic shapes and lines. In each lesson, a colorful picture shows the author's model artwork, with neatly penned text on ruled lines underneath. Step-by-step drawing instruction for the main object in the picture is contained on the facing page. Usually, this begins with basic shape(s), then details are added a little at a time. After you introduce the subject of the lesson, your child follows these directions (with help, if needed) to reproduce the subject. Then, a similar or original background and details are added to the student's picture. After this is done, the accompanying text is copied. (Although text is shown in manuscript, you might want to have older children practice cursive.) Text is informational and in short sentences; the author believes this is more motivational and useful than forming isolated letters. It seems to me that, after carefully creating such beautiful artwork, children will be very careful to use their neatest and best writing underneath! After the handwriting is finished, your child can color the picture with crayons, colored pencils, or felt tips. Additional lesson-specific drawing tips and suggestions are offered in a Teaching Tips section at the end of the book. Some additional ideas and help for increasing art awareness or new techniques are also found at the end of each themed unit. Each lesson includes a related question to promote thinking and discussion. Answers to each are also provided at the end of each unit, along with a suggested book to read that will expand on the topic. If you incorporate this literature, each theme could become a complete unit study!

Why are your Olive Oils more expensive than what I buy in Grocery stores?
Sala Caffé olive oils are crafted using premium, handpicked olives sourced from Italy’s finest groves. Unlike many grocery store options, our oils are cold-pressed within hours of harvest to preserve the highest quality, flavor, and nutritional value. This meticulous process ensures an authentic extra virgin olive oil with a superior taste and health benefits.
Are grocery store olive oils lower quality?
Many grocery store olive oils are mass-produced and may contain blended oils from various regions, diluting their purity. Some may not meet true extra virgin olive oil standards, sacrificing quality for affordability. Sala Caffé guarantees 100% pure, traceable, single-origin olive oil with no additives or inferior blends.
Why does the production process affect the price?
Premium olive oil production is labor-intensive. Our oils are:
Harvested by hand to avoid damaging the fruit.
Cold-pressed using advanced methods for unparalleled freshness and flavor.
Tested for purity and quality to meet strict standards. These steps result in higher costs but ensure a premium product.
Does the taste of Sala Caffé olive oils justify the cost?
Absolutely. Sala Caffé olive oils offer a rich, smooth flavor profile with distinctive notes that elevate your dishes, from salads to sautéed vegetables. The superior quality enhances both taste and health benefits, providing more value in every drop.
Are there health benefits to choosing premium olive oils?
Yes! Premium extra virgin olive oils like Sala Caffé's are rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and healthy fats, offering significant benefits for heart health, inflammation reduction, and overall wellness. Lower-quality oils often lack these essential nutrients due to processing methods.
Why should I invest in higher-quality olive oil?
Choosing premium olive oils like Sala Caffé ensures you're getting the best in flavor, nutrition, and sustainability. It's an investment in quality and taste, making every meal a gourmet experience.
Does Sala Caffé support sustainable practices?
Yes, we work with sustainable, eco-friendly producers in Italy, ensuring ethical farming and production methods. Supporting quality products also supports a better planet!
