Beach: Create Rainbow Art Pictures

by Tony Potter

Here's an original and fascinating new approach to miniature art kits for kids. A mini portfolio with sturdy board covers opens to present an attached spiral-bound art instruction book plus a packet of very unusual drawing paper. Instructions show how to draw sailboats, sand pails, beach balls, seashells, and more images that suggest summer and vacation time at the seashore. Each 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" sheet of art paper is coated with a colored surface that scratches off so kids can produce lines, squiggles, and shapes of all kinds at the firm touch of a stylus. A wooden stylus is packaged with the kit, along with a sharpener to keep the stylus point properly shaped for best effects. Kids will have lots of fun doodling, sketching, and developing their drawing skills with these imaginative little kits.
