Art stimulates curiosity, creativity, imagination and wellbeing in kids, but being creative with young children can feel surprisingly daunting - and this is where Mini Artists comes in.
The 20 projects in Mini Artists are designed to engage children with art through making.

Each project requires minimal set-up so the maximum amount of time is spent creating together, and the step-by-step instructions show photographs of the projects in progress so they can be followed at a glance. The projects use simple materials, from clay to ink to paint. Being grounded in art history, Mini Artists features a range of interesting art techniques that are ideal for teaching new motor skills.
