Make This Book Wild Creative Tote Bag
This truly unique book contains prompts for all kinds of creative activity based around the natural world around us, from drawing to writing to mixed-media collage.
Children will be encouraged to draw on their creativity, to express themselves without fear of being judged, and to make their book really WILD!
Everything needed to carry out the activities is provided in the Creative Book Bag. Children will just need to add lots of wild materials and their wildest creativity, as this book becomes filled with keepsakes from their own outdoor adventures.
From finding the faces hidden in pictures of trees, to collecting ingredients for a spell to keep nature safe, to sticking the feathers back onto a mythical bird, these prompts and activities will provide hours and hours of entertainment as they take children on flights of fantasy through the natural world.
Children can colour outside the lines, do the activities in any order and go at their own pace.
The mixture of art, creative writing, collecting, games, wildlife-watching and imaginative prompts will appeal to kids with all kinds of interests, and there are no rules!
The illustrator, Anna Ivanir, uses coloured pencils, gouache paint and watercolours to create the vibrant images of nature that delight and surprise throughout the book. Children will learn how to take “grey”, ordinary things from daily life and transport it into colourful and vibrant art. Anna describes this as bringing a bit of brightness and joy into the little things.
