This award winning book offers over 250 art activities designed to encourage kids to make art a part of their everyday lives. Skills and materials are described with how-tos and recipes, but the projects themselves are open-ended to encourage creativity and to allow different results each time and by different age levels. Parent guidelines empower even "art impaired" adults, providing what every parent and teacher needs to know to create an environment that gets kids excited about art. Winner of a Parent's Guide to Children's Media Award.

Great ideas, great approach to "teaching" art to children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Everyday Art for Kids: Projects to Unlock Creativity (Paperback)
Carolyn Holm has made a remarkable contribution in this book, for in it, she not only gives parents and teachers exciting ideas for "everyday" art projects, she also presents a clear and compelling rationale for approaching art with children with an open process. We use this approach in the art studio of Habitot Children's Museum (a hands-on museum for young children in Berkeley). We see many parents who mean well, but who actually interfere in un-helpful ways with their their children's art-making. This book is great for any parent or teacher who wants to see their children become truly creative and have high self-esteem. I recommend it highly! Gina Moreland, Director, Habitot Children's Museum
