Everyday Art for Kids: Projects to Unlock Creativity

Summary: Great ideas, great approach to "teaching" art to children
Review: Carolyn Holm has made a remarkable contribution in this book, for in it, she not only gives parents and teachers exciting ideas for "everyday" art projects, she also presents a clear and compelling rationale for approaching art with children with an open process. We use this approach in the art studio of Habitot Children's Museum (a hands-on museum for young children in Berkeley). We see many parents who mean well, but who actually interfere in un-helpful ways with their their children's art-making. This book is great for any parent or teacher who wants to see their children become truly creative and have high self-esteem. I recommend it highly! Gina Moreland, Director, Habitot Children's Museum
