Art Sparks

This lively, colorful compendium of arts and crafts for a new generation of kids features projects specially designed to spark creativity, invite self-expression, and nurture self-confidence. From finger puppets to fabric flags to shrink art, each activity uses inexpensive materials and can be crafted in less than 90 minutes.

Description

Every kid can be an artist with Art Sparks as their guide! Using basic art supplies— from paint, markers, paper, and glue to household finds like cardboard boxes and fabric scraps—children aged 6 and up learn that as long as they can imagine it, they can create it.

Curated by two art educators with decades of experience, this rich collection of 53 arts and crafts activities offers up a ton of freeform fun, from Doodlemonsters and Painted Animal Rocks to Paper Bead Jewelry and Nature Weaving. Projects vary in difficulty, so there's something for a wide range of ages and abilities, and many can be completed in under an hour.

Each project featured in the book has been kid-made (and kid-approved!), and colourful photos of the finished pieces will ignite a creative spark that inspires budding makers to express their imagination, humour, and individuality through art.
