Book Review: Art With Anything

About the Book
With 52 weeks of fantastic art projects using easy-to-find, everyday materials, Art with Anything provides a year of creativity, imagination, and fun for children ages 4-10!
Organized alphabetically by material, each week features one everyday material (address labels, fabric scraps, leaves, rocks) and provides five days of unique activities, increasing in complexity with each day. Art with Anything uses materials like buttons, cardboard, hole-punch dots, junk mail, masking tape, sandpaper, and salt, which encourages recycling and reusing!

Children will love making “Glitter Photo Jars” or working on “Shake-It-Up-Bag Paintings,” and projects like “Family Finger Puppets” and “Fluff-N-Puff Mobiles” will keep them entertained for hours and stretch their imaginations.

Whether at home or at school, in child care or an after-school program, exploring the process of creating art is one of the most compelling ways children learn, and Art with Anything keeps children learning creatively all year long!

My Take on the Book
This book is an amazing collection of art activities that will simply amaze you! Not only is it filled with great activities, but it is filled with great activities that use materials that you can find anywhere.

One of the things that I liked about this book was that this book uses the idea that art is everywhere and can be made by anything. This idea opened my eyes and showed me that my kids can easily become budding artists without spending a ton of money.

One of the things that was nice was that the book shared numerous projects that could be done with numerous types of materials. You will find a plethors of different types of actiivities that are easy to attempt and easy to follow.

So if you are looking for a great book to use with kids, this one is the one to get. It is a great resource for parents, grandparents, babysitters or other caregivers. Check it out today!
