Customer Reviews

Best art/drawing book series i've found...

I think this is just a really simply well done set. In my opinion this is an essential book for kids 5 and up to take and do by themselves and for parents of under 5 to do with them! It gives kids the basics of how to draw/create the projects broken down into easy to follow steps...for those of us that grew up with Ed Emberly books this is the modern day addition to those classics which i also highly recommend! This book combines "I can cut and stick" "I can crayon" "I can fingerpaint" "I can draw animals" "I can count" "I can add up" and "Fun with Numbers"...you really can't go wrong. It would even help an unartistic parent look like a pro! I only wish they had included "I can draw people" too but for the price you are getting 7 books that would normally cost $5 each...this is a wonderful book and i don't mind buying that one for the additional $4.99 price at all! If you have to buy one art book for your kids or students this would be the only one i would choose!

Great Book!

My girls and I loved this book. Great for 4 years old to about 2nd grade. Crafts, drawings, paintings are all very easy to make even for a non-crafty person like myself. Would buy it again and again.

Fun easy art book

This is a great book for young children. It is packed with easy step by step instructions and full of great ideas. It uses basic shapes, colorful and fun for the little ones. They will love what they can create. Love it. Good for keeping them busy in the summer.

Good overall art idea book

The book has lots of ideas for artsy ideas... like cutting/pasting and fingerpainting, but that's it... I was expecting more actual activities rather than art projects. It will be fun when my 2 year old gets a little older!

Lots of fun projects!

I purchased for my Church preschool and a friend. They have wonderful ideas for art projects. Lots of cute fingerprint ideas. Have used this book ALOT for my kids. Had to get the Church it's own copy so I could have mine back. Has simple instructions for kids to learn how to draw. You will not be disappointed with this book!
