Review: My go to art resource! - I have been following Jean's blog, the artful parent for a few years now. She has been an important part of my families life by bringing art to us in an accessible, interesting, fun and creative way. She believes in process, not product which is really important in the early years, yet, even with this philosophy much of the outcome is so unique and beautiful. Although her blog and e-books are chock full of activities, her book equally brings new, fresh projects for you to choose from. Add to that her inspiring writing on why children should be involved in making art and ways to add it to their life and you get a well rounded resource to go back to again and again! This book will help you enrich your child's life as well as give you the chance to be creative yourself in a sometimes not so artful day to day. It's been so fun to share this with my daughter and to see the joy on her face when she is creating. The artful parent is a gem!!
Review: The Artful Parent - excellent on many levels - I've followed Jean Van't Hul's blog, The Artful Parent, since the beginning. When I learned there was to be a book, I was thrilled - the blog is wonderful but there is something about leafing through a hard copy of a book that is so much more appealing to me. Although some of the projects are similar to ideas she has explored on the blog, none of it feels old or tired, the material is still fresh and exciting. The pictures and projects are inspiring for both kids and adults alike. The text is written in an accessible and friendly, almost familial way. In addition there is lots of great information on art supplies and spaces, as well as essays by other artists and experts in various areas of creativity and art making. I think this book would be the perfect gift for a new parent, someone who already has kids/grandkids, or teachers - especially teachers in the preschool age range where art exploration and open ended projects should be a staple. Thanks Jean for sharing your time and talents with all of us!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple & wonderful art ideas for any home with kids
*by D***A on April 10, 2013*

I've been following this blog for awhile and was so excited to hear that a book was coming out. I've been devouring the book since I received it and I'm loving it so far. I'm not a naturally artsy or crafty parent and don't have time to run around buying a lot of different materials to do projects with my kids, so unfortunately more often than not I let them just do those things at preschool or school. With this book, I now have tons of ideas of simple art projects we can do at home together that are fun, simple and cheap. Just this morning my 3 kids (ages 8, 3 & 2) made art out of our recycling bin, an idea provided in the book. I don't know why I never thought of this before since we always have a full recycling bin, but it entertained them for several hours, didn't cost me a thing, and they made some really creative projects. I'm looking forward to using this book for many years to come!
