The New Artful Parent Book

Isn’t there something special about watching your kids pull a book from the shelves, get lost in it’s contents and then see them set off to create an idea they’ve found on it’s pages. I think books like these bring meaningful adventures for you to take with your kids, through creativity, without having to step out the door. Jean Van’t Hul has newly revised and revitalized,The Artful Parent: Simple Ways to Fill Your Family’s Life with Art and Creativityand I don’t need a crystal ball to share that this is abook thatbrings this type of wonder to kids — and adults.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY FOLLOWS, SO READ ON!

Jean is such a force within the artful living and artful parenting movement that she’s referred to by just her first name!If you don’t know“Jean”or already have a dog-eared copy of her earlier books on your shelves or follow her blog,theartfulparent ,“you’re welcome!”

Jean’s blog and books read like a conversation with a warm and familiar friend. She chooses simple everyday projects with items you most likely already have in your home and encourages everyday creativity and connectivity. From the moment I found Jean and her blog, I felt instantly connected and that I have a friend with “the same idea of fun” and kid-connection. Jean used her own children’s play group experiences and shared authentic, kid made examples of the process in the production of her book. It’s been beautiful to follow Jean and her daughters throughout the years as they’re shared and inspired artful living in others, too.

The Artful Parent: Simple Ways to Fill Your Family’s Life with Art and Creativityis well organised so that you can:

Pick the best materials for your child’s age and learn to make your very own

Jean organises how to set up art activities to ease children through transitions, engage, entertain and create an activity that kids will be enticed to step forward to try.
