This is a great-value festive edition of this popular title in “Usborne's Art Ideas” series, packed with Christmassy ideas for painting, drawing, printing and making collages. It helps children to explore the uses of materials including chalk, paint and pencil through a number of different, highly imaginative projects including gold-winged angels, sparkly baubles, fingerprint snowmen, and frosty branches.

These original projects will be of great value to art teachers and experienced artists looking for inspiration as well as aspiring artists who will gain in confidence as they progress through the book.

“This book is full of colourful pictures and contains some great ideas for cards, wrapping, pictures, baubles, tree decorations and more. I've tried most of these out with my Year 4 class and they have found the step-by-step instuctions easy to follow with minimal adult support – just what a busy teacher wants in the run up to Christmas. Highly recommended.” Mrs Scott
