I am finally making time to do this review. We’ve had this book for a few years and use it as a resource for artsy projects with supplies I typically have on hand, making for a great go-to when screen time is not available/offered. Fantastic, easy, hands-on and imaginative projects! Highly recommend.

I just picked up this book at a used book store and love it already just from flipping through it. It uses MaryAnn Kohl's fantastic open-ended approach, while teaching about global art and cultures at the same time. I'm looking forward to using this in our homeschooling.
