These wonderfully creative how-to books are so much more than learning how to draw a series of shapes to make a recognizable animal or object. Instead, they focus a little bit more on the process - using crayons, pens, pencils, pastels, paper, and even paint to create an awesome piece of artwork. Although the books do centralize around specific themes, their similarity to other how-to-draw books ends there. While children could certainly pick these up and use them independently, these books could also easily be used to teach art lessons to young students, as they provide a fun, purposeful introduction to a variety of different mediums and techniques. Simply pick a title that will interest your children and choose which of the projects you'd like to complete. Each book holds seventeen different "how-to"� activities. Many of them are more standard drawing activities, but some of my favorite more creative ideas are ballerina paper chains, vehicles in a rainy scene, using foil to make a cool tanker truck, dinosaur collages, and watery (watercolor) elephants. The books themselves are in full-color and very high-quality. Each one comes with around 200 themed stickers to decorate your projects and provide finishing touches. 32 pgs. - Melissa
