Great for parents, teachers, camps, clubs, library groups and play dates. Very bright and clean book that gets attention and seems like a reliable resource. The instructions are easy to read, understand and follow nd the layot is great!

This guide was fun, easy to read with the instructions of each project broken down with numbers and photos. I loved it! I will definitely be purchasing a copy when it is published as I can see myself using a lot of the ideas in the classroom. The book is clear and gives a clear list if what equipment is needed at the beginning of each project. Some really unique ideas too. I loved the painted sticks and the paper mache alpaca!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the complimentary advanced review copy of this lovely book! Here is my honest opinion in return:

My daughter is 8 and she loves anything art. We read this book together and she was able to understand the writing, loved the colorful illustrations, found the instructions easy to follow, and loved, loved, loved the ideas this book gave her for her art projects. Her favorite projects were: pencil-eraser pointillism, doodle monsters, Maori tattoo, paper bead jewelry, the charm bag, and of course anything mixed media (her favorite way to create art). For me, it is important that the projects are age-appropriate and they were. Even my 6-year old (with a disability) was able to work on some projects, even though some of them required help with cutting, sewing, etc. Overall, this is a wonderful book I can honestly recommend to all parents whose kids are interested in art. They can practice all kinds of different skills (cognitive, fine motor skills, etc.).

Lovely bright and inspiring art book full of great ideas and projects to try with your children. Lots of them are simple and excellent for a rainy day. This would be a great resource for teachers to keep at hand and use for school art projects.

Fantastic art book! My 5 year old and I really enjoyed the ideas in here. We have completed two projects so far and have marked pages of the other ones we want to try once we get the supplies.

Decine di progetti artistici che invogliano i bambini a creare, manipolando materiali fra i più diversi ed esplorando ogni tipo di tecnica praticabile.

E' questa la proposta delle autrici, che gestiscono da anni un campo scuola a base di arte, stimolando la creatività dei piccoli partecipanti con progetti mirati.

Sebbene ammetta che le realizzazioni non siano decisamente di mio gusto, le idee sono tante e chiarissime le istruzioni e i suggerimenti su come usare con successo ogni tipo mi materiale, per creare liberamente, infine, e senza guide.

Un manuale da tenere a portata di mano per lunghi pomeriggi invernali, o festicciole a base di creatività

Lovely book that would be great to use with children of all ages. As a teacher I will be using aspects of this book to help my children's creative abilities.

This is a really fun, bright and accessible book which is great for children but also for parents/carers to use alongside children as a bonding, family activity. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The photography is uncluttered, inspiring and energetic. A thoroughly fabulous art book which sparks and encourages children, young people and their family to create!
