Title: Disappointed (All Product Based Art)
Review: After ordering many similar books to use for activities with my 2.5 year old son, I was rather disappointed with this one. I suppose I am comparing it to books like MaryAnn Kohl's First Art and The Big Messy Art Book, which focus on process art. This book is all about following the precise directions and creating in the end a product that looks like the one in the book. It is not a book that encourages creativity. Also, I found that the activities involve a lot of steps and materials. I have quite a collection of materials at home, but frankly I don't find that my 2.5 year old has the patience to sit these rather long projects with multiple steps to create something that he barely understands the value of. I would not recommend this book for homemakers with young toddlers.
