Customer Reviews

inspiring

This book is easy to understand, has great examples of kid art, and also shows inspiring selections from museum collections. There are sections showing projects done in plaster, papier mache,salt dough,cardboard,and sewing. Some of the examples are peddler doll, kachina doll,peruvian retablos,doll house,and a toy stage. There is a nice blend between what the famous example is on one page and then a kid creation on the next. We found it very motivational.
