Mini Artists: 20 Projects Inspired by the Great Artists (Mini Artists, 1) Paperback – October 17, 2023

You'll want to start on a project with your child right away! Very visually appealing, colorful, bright illustrations. Simple, clear directions, easily available art materials, everything you need to inspire your child to create their own art. I bought it for a young child, but she can use it for years to come as her art appreciation grows.

If you’re wondering how much work you as a parent have to put in to make the 20 projects presented in Mini Artists, the answer is not that much. Author Joséphine Seblon took that into consideration when she created this book. The projects are easy enough for young kids to do with some help and older ones to do on their own. The messiest medium is paint, but even that calls for the washable kind.Mini Artists takes kids through time, starting with cave painting and clay tablets, moving to landscapes and stained-glass windows, and working through modern and contemporary art. Each project provides a framework while still allowing for creativity.Mini Artists offers up lots of family fun for after school, weekends, holidays or summer breaks. It encourages kids to think outside the box and explore the world through the eyes of creators.
