have a couple of grandchildren who love art and already attend art classes, I myself am not very artistic but do enjoy having a try, Between the grandchildren and myself, i'm sure we shall have great fun together, The book itself is nicely set out with the type of tools used, including crayons, pencils and paint and various projects, Recommended.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy, This is my honest review, freely given, This is a fun book for a grownup and child to explore, spending time together while getting creative, Made up primarily of drawing tips and instructions, my favorite parts were the art project ideas, like the "crazy creatures" where you make paint blobs and use your imagination to turn them into critters! Also, in our Pinterest world, I enjoyed that the photos were projects that were also kidfriendly and looked like they were made by children.
A great book to have on hand to inspire junior and older! artists, This book is an awesome guide for teacher or parents, or anyone who is trying to help kids with art but isn't super artistically inclined, I find that not having learned some basic techniques when I was younger makes it much more difficult to explain to kids when painting or drawing, The book is nicely set up with the different styles as well as what materials work best for which craft, Originally published on my blog: sitelinkNonstop Reader,

The GrownUp's Guide to Making Art with Kids is a fun tutorial guide for teachers, parents, and other resource people full of ideas for drawing with kids.
Releasedth Mayby Quarto on their sitelinkWalter Foster imprint, it'spages and available in paperback and ebook formats,

This is a book absolutely full of exuberant step by step tutorials for drawing any number of creatures and objects with a whimsical style which will appeal to kids and in a manner which anyone can do.
This includes the 'I can't draw a stick figure' people out there,

The books introduction circaof the page content covers materials and a little bit of color theory, with tips and extra info highlighted in sidebars.
The following chapters are paired in an alternating format with the first chapter covering how to draw animals, moving objects, buildings, people etc, and the following containing a stepbystep project tutorial incorporating the items from the previous chapter.
The project tutorials include popup scenes, collages, shadow puppets, a map, and several others,

I am not familiar with many art books aimed specifically at adults in a context of drawing in a way to please and appeal to the small people in their lives.
This one is excellent and would make a superlative support book for classroom teachers, facilitators, homeschoolers, librarians, parents, babysitters, camp staff, etc,

Five. This is a really useful and appealing book for all ages,

Disclosure: I received an early eARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes, I must admit, I was a little disappointed with this book, It is simply a 'how to draw, . . /how to paint . book. I think I was expecting something akin to a book full of original art projects and art ideas to occupy the children, That said, it is extremely visual and colourful which is going to appeal to children and it's very clear to follow, And with this in mind, I'm sure the children would be kept happy and occupied by this book anyway,

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review, Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this book! I love making arts and crafts and I'm glad that my children have inherited my love for this hobby.
When reading this book, I tried to picture myself and my kids in particular myyearold artsycraftsy girl working on the projects described in the book, My favorites were the big tree and the floor map projects, Some of the other projects seemed a little too advanced for all of my children e, g. , the people and teaching them about perspective, including theyearold who is already pretty advanced in her skills, So I wouldn't call the projects easy unless it is specified more, i, e. , "easy for older kids" or similar qualifiers,
Overall, this is a good book, but needs some improvement, Updating reviews as part of my plan to catch up on and clean up reviews,



I had the idea that this book might be useful for ideas or projects in my toddler classroom, While it failed in that regard, it did succeed as a howto for doing art older children, sayyears on up,

The best parts of the book are the art lessons, FosterWilson explains basic art concepts simply and respectfully, never talking down to readers, It's a good intro for adults as well as children, with simple instructions on drawing a variety of subjects and objects, The art projects are too adult driven and too product oriented for my personal taste but they will appeal to many children, and adults, The directions are simple enough to follow and there are lots of illustrations accompanying the directions, The subjects of the projects are a variety of trendy and classic, Most of the projects require some planning but a few can be done spontaneously, The book also provides suggestions for art supplies to keep on hand, I highly recommend this book to parents or adults who work with kids who are not naturally artistically inclined, I'm the type of person that needs to be taught artistic techniques this book does a great job at teaching tips that can be applied to the kind of art kids like to create.


I was brought up by parents who believed art techniques should never be taught they encouraged me to simply experiment, Since I was not artistically gifted as a child, this ended up in disaster and I quickly became uninterested in art, So, I'm definitely a believer in learning artistic techniques and passing it on to others, Learning what colors to mix when painting, tips for drawing, and what artistic supplies are best suited to a project can make all the difference,

There are lots of fun ideas in this book kids will enjoy creating, Those who are already artistically gifted may not find a lot of new ideas in this book, but for the average person like me this book is ideal.
