Customer Reviews

Messy Art is great.

I am a special education teacher and I am always looking for new ideas to enhance my sensory awareness program. This book has some awesome ideas and I can't wait to start using them this year.

More like Adventurous!

This book is my kids' favorite! Everything is either very LARGE and exciting, or SILLY and exciting, or ADVENTUROUS and exciting, or extremely INTERESTING and exciting. Don't buy this if you want your child to sit in a corner with crayons for the rest of her/his life and never look beyond the expected. This is for the kids that will challenge their imaginations and explore art from a new view, building who they will be as adults.

Some great new stuff to try!

I have been teaching preschool for many years and I love messy media... this book had some really neat ideas, things I had never tried before. When I got my copy, I couldn't wait to try out some of the ideas right away.

Success with all ages!

I used the stained glass project from the book with a group of 21 children, ranging in age from 4 to 12. The instructions were super-easy to explain to my group, and it was a real pleasure to see all the kids working so independently!At the end of the hour, each child had a great looking project and a sense of accomplishment! Ms. Kohl has another winner!

The Big, Messy Art Book is the best!

I thoroughly enjoyed the great ideas presented in this book. I can't wait to use them during our outdoor days. The activities are age appropriate and very open-ended. I appeciated the variations at the end of each activity. The icons are a great idea to inform us of the safety precautions and age experience. This book is not only filled with great ideas but also offers choices of tools to use as we wish. Kudos to Mary Ann Kohl!
