Big Art Activity Book for Kids - Stickers & Press-Outs

This art activity book for kids is packed with creative projects children can complete using little more than the contents of a pencil case. The Big Art Activity Book from Usborne runs to 96 large-format pages, with stickers, press-out pieces and models to build, making it a brilliant screen-free choice for children aged 6 and up.

Young artists can draw a self-portrait, assemble slot-together sculptures, create sticker versions of famous paintings and colour by numbers. Along the way they discover surprising facts about well-known artists and try out some of their signature tricks and techniques for themselves.

Meet Famous Artists Through Hands-On Activities

Rather than simply reading about art history, children learn by doing. The book introduces artists including Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and Henri Matisse, then invites kids to experiment with the same ideas: bold colour, pattern, shading and expressive line.

Inside You Will Find

• Drawing challenges such as "take a line for a walk" and drawing faces
• Colour activities exploring wild colours and how to choose a palette
• Shading, clever patterns and wonderfully wonky drawings
• Pop art, street art, mythical monsters and terrible beasts
• Press-out stencils, models to build and plenty of stickers

Great for Holidays, Rainy Days and Budding Artists

Each activity is self-contained, so children can pick a page and get started straight away without lots of preparation. It suits independent play, but also works well for parents, grandparents or teachers looking for a ready-made art session. Because no special materials are needed, it travels well for road trips, holidays and waiting rooms.

The large page size gives plenty of room to draw, and the mix of quick tasks and longer projects keeps children coming back long after the first afternoon.
