SO many great ideas! I love how the book offers some fun and easy techniques that can be applied in different ways: scratching, layering colours, using different materials :)

I liked many of the ideas but they wouldn't meet my needs for single-session projects.

This book definitely obtained some fun ideas for art projects to make with children. I wish there were more variety of types of projects/aesthetics...there is a very specific look to the projects.
