A particularly popular series of children’s art books is the Katie series, written and illustrated by James Mayhew. These books explore artistic movements with Katie and offer an excellent way to introduce children to the world’s most iconic art. Options within our range at the National Gallery Shop include Katie meets the Impressionists, Katie and the British Artists, Katie and the Sunflowers and Katie and the Bathers. Best for: introducing and explaining modern art to 8-12s. It would also suit an older audience, including teenagers and even adults who want to understand modern art a little better themselves If you’re a caregiver to a kid, you probably already know whether or not your child has a love for art (hint: if you have to throw away pictures on a daily basis because they bring home so many, then it’s safe to assume your kiddo is a fan of art). It’s a fantastic thing for them to be interested in because it allows them a way to express their creativity now and it’s also something that studies have shown can help them reduce and manage stress as they grow up. So, if investing in a few children’s books about art now will help keep them excited, then it’s definitely worth it. Our smartphone cameras do an amazing job making our photos look great in imperfect situations. We take it a step further and tune elements like white balance, contrast, vibrance, and saturation. This is one of the best bumper activity books for budding artists. It contains art and craft activities for every day of the year, including flag chains, fabric collages, leaf printing, spoon-people, gift tags and many more things to make, draw and paint. Each of the activities is explained with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and colourful illustrations. Perfect for rainy days indoors.

PlumPrint provides an easy solution for the big question of what to do with all the kids artwork. Create a custom kids artwork book in a few easy steps!For me, the hardest part was selecting what to include. It was a nice excuse to sort through the portfolios of special artwork. I loved going through each child’s artwork with them to exclamations of “I remember when we studied frogs in preschool and I made that watercolor pond painting!” and “Oh yeah! My Sun Monster!!!!”
