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.
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 a lot for my kids. Had to get the Church it's own copy so I could have mine back. My girls and I loved this book. Great for 3-4 years old to about 2nd grade. Crafts, drawings, paintings are all very easy to make even for a non-crafty persons.
