My Very Favorite Art Book: I Love to Finger Paint!

By Jennifer Lipsey

Sometimes all it takes is a little hands-on playfulness to get children involved in art. So forget the brushes--this third entry in the My Very Favorite Art Book series puts its finger on what kids find fun. The colorful array of creative activities will have budding painters amazed at all the different ways they can use their fingers, hands, and even their feet to make both realistic and abstract pictures. It won't be long before proud youngsters produce galleries of blot masterpieces, dinosaurs, fingerprint people, animals, and crazy creatures. Plus, they'll learn some simple how-tos for mixing colors and making their own paints. And the text is kept to a minimum, so even pre-readers can follow along.

Finger paint with a twist!

This book is so helpful for my 5 yr old who was trying to come up with ideas while fingerpainting. It helps give direction and shows room for improvement.

Great for the artistically challenged parent . . .

I have demonstrated to my son how to draw a house, a stickman, and a tree - that's where my artistic ability ends. This book gives me the tools to expand my son's imagination about the potential to create using paint and fingers (very simple tools). The finger paintings demonstrated in this book look fun even for me as an adult.
