The
Little Hands Art Book/Exploring Arts & Crafts With 2-To
6-Year-Olds.
By Judy Press
This is an ideal beginning art book to inspire preschoolers'
creative spirits. Instructions are bare minimum, and resulting
art is very clever as kids' imaginations take flight with simple
materials and only a hint of direction. Over 70 art projects
with introductory poems to stir kids' imaginations explore textures,
colors, shapes, moods, and feelings. Introductions to basic
media include glue, doughs, paint, paper, markers, and crayons.
Guidelines for parents, teachers, and caregivers for encouraging
truly creative art experiences are of special value. |
