Customer Reviews

Loaded with inspiration, ideas, and great projects

Barbara McGuire has presented this book in a very logical format. It is easy to read and interesting to read as well. The projects are easy to follow but not so simple that they are boring. Even better than that the finished artwork is so wonderful that they will be kept as treasured heirlooms for years to come. I am looking forward to creating the decoupage furniture and image transfer lamp with the little ones in my life. I highly recommend this book for all teachers, parents, child care providers, and anyone else who spends any significant amount of time with children.

Finally....

...a wonderfully comprehensive book that tells you what to do with all the artwork your kids bring home from school and you know you'll do guilt over if you throw it away!! Creative projects that actually make nice things (well the two I've done so far) It also talks a lot about what art means to children which is a refreshingly different take on art than adults have. Excellent book. I hope you'll enjoy it, I did.

Great Collection of Kid's Art

This book is full of wonderful examples of what children can do with simple art materials and creative freedom. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to know how to nurture artistic expression and enjoyment in kids.
