This is a wonderful book to get the children close to the artist. It gives a very clear overview of the author and the key features of his technique. It also offers a hand's on project for the children to become Matisse for a while. Simple instructions, a short and wonderful review on the artist's life and work make this book easy and enjoyable. My children (8 yr old, 5yr old and 3 yr old) and I had a smashing afternoon composing a work of art to show papa, grandma, and the teachers. I highly recommend this book and others in this series to introduce the artists to children. This is however my absolute favourite in this series.

I worked with my grandchild to do the activities and she enjoyed ti. My grandchild is four years old and she remembers Matisse and seems to recognize his work now.

My daughter is 6 and she loves this book and the extra paper and cutout shapes inspiring her to do her "own" Matisse pictures. Great foundation on who Matisse was and how his life and art progressed in an interesting way to hold the attention of little kids.

A little disappointed with this pack. It only included one sheet of stencils and a few sheets of coloured paper.
