Five years in the creating, Klutz and the Metropolitian Museum of Art, New York have created a fantastic hands-on activity book (and kit). It's all about art, and the sturdy wire-bound book is designed not only to be read, but also to be stickered, painted, pounded, rubbed, woven, soaked and poked. Comes with all the supplies essential for the hands-on experiences joyfully presented here. Find light-sensitive paper for "blueprint" art, color pigments for paint making (a paintbrush, too), rice paper, copper foil, a whole gallery of stickers and lots more. Sketch a monkey, paint a monster, emboss a bracelet, wrap a mummy, make fancy letters, make a sun print, weave a picture, create a collage, and much more. Includes powdered tempera paints, sun-sensitive paper and stencils. This colorful 66 page book makes a wonderful gift for any young artist, ages 8-18.
